Here’s the real irony.

   1. Before submitting its Office format as Office Open XML, Microsoft
held it as proprietary.
   2. To make OOXML a standard, Microsoft allowed others to implement it.
   3. But with no one (including Microsoft) implementing it
   4. Microsoft could simply change the format and go back to having it
be proprietary.

It will be as if the recent battle never happened.
