No, he's saying it's unrealistic to expect Microsoft to actually conform to the standard that was passed i.e. that Microsoft are institutionally incapable of playing well with others and we should all know that by now.

The first commenter seems to have fallen for the usual Microsoft standard-stalling tactic that has them claim that they can't implement any standard until it's all signed, sealed and delivered. If they actually gave a damn they could have seen the writing on the wall and done something about it well in time.

Rick Jellife (a well-known standards wonk, generally suspicious of anti-Microsoft sentiment, though like Alex Brown seems to now be disappointed that they've lived down to everyone's expectations) comments:

"I don't know why it is unrealistic to expect Microsoft to accept and generate Strict OOXML in Office 2010: they have had more than two years already. Most of the changes are trivial or systematic or were well in progress (e.g., VML had mostly been dropped for DrawingML by 2007) or would be features required for better support of ODF/Open Formula anyway."
