Our philosophy at Adobe, with respect to file formats and standardization, is that we will publish the details of file format specifications so that others can read & write our formats. All of our major formats, and most of our minor ones, are documented in this fashion - SWF, IDML, Mars/PDFXML, XMP, PSD, etc. We will, however, maintain and advance them ourselves until such time as we believe the format is mature enough for it to become an open international standard as we did a few years ago with PDF.
