Heh. I hadn't even noticed it was from MSDN until I pasted the link. This is 
why source code makes for a bad standard. :-)  It's interesting to read some 
of the comments and see the arguments for interpreting MS as evil there. I'd 
rather have a standard for prose documents that says "flag indicates 
obsolete word-break required" than a standard for spreadsheets that doesn't 
say what a formula looks like. That seems just kind of weird.  The thing 
lots of people forget is that MS has money, and open source groups generally 
don't, so CYA happens a lot less with open source.
