But then they came up with another idea. They said, "let's use XML." Now here's what Microsoft means when they speak of using XML. The beginning of the file has a trivial thing that says "this is XML and here comes binary Word format data," and then there's the binary Word format data and then there's something at the end that says, "that was binary Word format data." And they patented this. {so that... I'm not sure} I don't know exactly what the patent does and doesn't cover, but, you know, there are things we could do, either reading or writing that file format, probably they could try suing us about. And I'm sure that, if treacherous computing is available for them to use, they'll use that too.
