It's kind of odd/fun/amusing that Microsoft after doing its big OOXML song and dance is being hoist on its own petard by a patent on custom XML.
I do wonder if Microsoft in stumping up OOXML did much at all in the way of diligence with regard to patents on custom XML. Because it seems that their attempt to get proprietary stuff in an "open standard" has come back to haunt them.
Ah well, maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm not. I'm just in too much after golf pain to care much.
