How XML Standards Are Used When Editing a Document


InfoPath is built from the ground up on XML standards, including the following: 

*	Extensible Markup Language (XML) 1.0 Second Edition 
*	Namespaces in XML 
*	XML Path Language (XPath) 1.0 
*	XML Schema (XSD) 1.0 Part 1: Structures, and Part 2: Datatypes 
*	Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations (XSLT) 1.0 
*	Extensible Hypertext Markup Language (XHTML) 1.0 
*	Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) 
*	Document Object Model (DOM) 1.0 
*	XML Digital Signatures (XML DSig) 
*	Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) 1.1 
*	Web Services Description Language (WSDL) 1.1 
*	Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration (UDDI) 1.0 

It seems no matter how many open standards Microsoft adopts across its products and developer technologies, there's always someone willing to complain that their pet standard hasn't been adopted. Just goes to show you can't please everyone.

It might be nice if MSFT had adopted open standards all the way up their
XML stack, but I'm reasonably content that they are using more open
standards than they used to support.  Thanks to toolkits that are widely
available, I can take their pileup and produce something that's
comfortable for me to use.
