It kind of reminds me of the OOXML thing where Microsoft hijacked the standards process for its own benefit.

- jiggawatts 5y agoOOXML was a standard-after-the-fact, because Microsoft couldn't respond to some Government tenders that required that all data be stored in standardised formats. So... they "standardised" it. Hilariously, OOXML as generated by MS Office is not the standard version by default. The standard version has different XML namespaces and even slightly different capabilities. You can choose this format in Save As, but nobody does.
