I'm no ISO procedure expert, but my understanding is: after 5 days of discussion, the voting members at ISO's Ballot Resolution Meeting decided not to approve the OOXML specification.
I'm not sure they were voting on the specification itself; just editorial amendments to it.
Objectively, the OOXML spec. is now better than it was in the first round of voting, so more countries may vote in favour to approve it. I wouldn't say, then, that rejection by ISO is almost certain - I would say probable, but I think it will be _very_ close.
