Is Microsoft buying out Sweden's vote in ISO?

As reported by stupid.domain.name, Microsoft stuffed one of the meetings of the WG17 of SIS/ITS with its partners and got a majority vote to push the OODF/OOXML question.

IBM and other representatives left the meeting believing it was a farce. The vote was 25 for, 6 against, and 3 abstained.

Has Sweden been bribed? Let's see when the official OOXML vote comes up.
