Just to clarify, the Longhorn documentation folks at MSFT wrote that...
I didn't.
All I was doing was pointing out a case in which MSFT seemed to make it
very clear that they are in fact competing with HTML and CSS.
For a followup, here's part of the para that followed the original

The adaptive-flow-format calculations are optimized for best readability
and faithful design rendering, in that order. As a result, the design
specifications given to the AdaptiveMetricsContext are more flexible
than the specifications that many designers are used to providing in
HTML or CSS.
