1. Comment - Microsoft's move toward XML standards leads to $200 million penalty

   (May 21, 2009 - 8:19 PM)

   This is an absurd idea to patent, and wasn't novel at all. Framemaker+SGML as well as LaTex all did this, in some cases a full decade before i4i even began to consider the idea. SGML had already been used for document prep for just about forever at large companies... now ask yourself this: how could you write a document in SGML unless you put the format instructions in a separate file???
   
   In fact - quite the opposite - HTML was the very first SGML format I'd ever heard of where formatting WAS included in the document!!
