yeah their format was so good, MSFT didn't have to resort to underhandednes
..... except that they did.
This format is junk. If you know anything about XML, you know it's junk. This isn't going to go away, it will always be junk.

They won't be able to hide how had MS XML is, and it will be a continuing embarassment.
