FYI, after a bit more digging, the only targets left
(before the mystical UBL numbers) are both from fairly ancient
history:
83/323 - 26% : Web Services Business Process Execution
Language Version 2.0 (31 March 2007)
85/341 - 25% : ebXML BP v2.0.4 (30 Nov. 2006)
So at this point, DITA v1.3 is the highest vote-getter of
any OASIS Standard since 2007, and the fifth-highest OS ever!
We'll see who else votes in the next few hours.....
Best regards,
Paul

In case anyone is interested here is the message
that I sent out to all of my contacts who had
not voted between about 5-6pm yesterday (PST).
This is one of the few where I knew the company
had a connection to DITA. It has one (obvious)
short, extra paragraph. Otherwise the only thing
I varied was the salutation.

Subject: Last chance to vote for DITA 1.3
Dear Winston,
Time is running out on the ballot for DITA 1.3!
Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA) is
already a highly successful schema for
structured authoring in XML. DITA was originally
developed by IBM primarily for technical
documentation, but in the years since its
creation as a standard under the OASIS umbrella,
its adaptability (the "information typing" part
of its name) has made it easy for anyone to
adopt and use. Now DITA is widespread in
industries as diverse as medical devices,
government, semiconductors, pharmaceuticals,
software, insurance, telecommunications,
healthcare, and human resources.
DITA 1.3 marks the culmination of an effort to
"finish" the 1.x version of the specification,
rounding out a set of features that complete the
original vision. With these additions, DITA is
certain to be the go-to standard for structured
authoring in XML for years to come.
I know that VMware is already benefiting
directly from using DITA for technical
documentation.
On behalf of the entire OASIS DITA Technical
Committee, we certainly would appreciate your
vote by this Thursday (11:59pm UTC, 6:59pm EST,
3:59pm PST):

Hi Kris,
Well, your question sent us
to the record books stretching back
to 2003... and the winner was: (music)
UBL v1.0 with 118 votes
from 346 Members, or 34.104%, on Sun,
31 Oct 2004
second was: UBL v2.0
with 116 votes from 341 Members, or 34.018%,
on Thu, 30 Nov 2006
I have to say UBL is quite an
outlier, and the highest vote-getter
recently has been OData v4.0 with 79 out of
300, or 26%, in Feb. 2014.
Hope that gets the
competitive juices flowing - bring out
the voters!
Best regards, Paul
