Isn't that why people don't like the new standard?
MS put their custom tags into the ISO standard so they can
avoid rewriting Word to be ISO compliant. It's easier for
MS just to change the standard. A and B now need to re-implement
Word just to be ISO compliant, the standard is useless in this
regard. It doesn't specify a single "best practice" it gloms
together bits of dissimilar methods into a single standard.
It's a wart on a wart on a wart, and warts are ugly.
