This particular area does demonstrate that Microsoft continue to attempt
to use pseudo-legal processes and threats in order to maintain their
monopoly. Clearly, nobody could imagine that Microsoft will agree to
support a standard which is truly standard and has no submarine patents,
so why anyone would ever consider any standard from MS could be safe is
quite beyond me.
