Ben, Now, it's sounds real nice to say things like "Let's jettison all this legacy baggage and start from a fresh, clean design", but reality doesn't work that way. There are huge costs associated with starting from scratch. In this case, we're talking about potentially large numbers of "legac

It actually sounds like OOXML isn't as bad as the C standard, because at least OOXML gives you the *option* of not incorporating the bug. The year is 2007, as nice as it would be to update the C standard to fix all these bugs, we're talking about OOXML. If the point o
