"Microsoft Is Rebuffed by Standards Body"
http://www.nytimes.com/2007/09/04/technology/04cnd-soft.html?ex=1346558400&en=abed8ca97bef280b&ei=5088&partner=rssnyt&emc=rss
"Mr. Hintjens said Microsoft will have a hard time winning over countries that
opposed its standards bid because to do so, Microsoft would be forced to
officially put into the public domain the secret coding for many of its
proprietary document formats that already dominate the global market, like those
in its Office software suite."
Are there any documents that can shed some light one this - which parts of the
OOXML spec rely on 'secret coding' ?
