Try asking again in a year or so's time, when we have an audio extension defined by Microsoft for Microsoft applications, a threading extension defined by Google for Google applications and a video extension defined by Yahoo for Yahoo applications. Case-by-case will favour those with the weight to ensure enough deployment to bootstrap general adoption. The long term network-effect driven gains of interop are outweighed by the short-term competitive advantage of features. Proprietary Atom solutions here we come!
Now we're aware of the issue, what are the options for the format?
As with anything, there will be a big mess, and then the good stuff will get standardized. I don't see a problem.
In the long run we're all dead, is as good a riposte as any to that sirrah.
But, if people think extensions are an issue, then maybe there's spec text to be had, which is where I was trying to go.
