With all due respect to the OP, and fully understanding I have no intention of maligning him in any way, the posted info is: 1. From a blog: notorious sites of misinformation. 2. Has no clarification or verification links present: only a couple i4i wanted to see in print or documents that aren't official due to their inability to be used as evidence in a court of law, again with no verifiable source. 3. It doesn't appear, from my meager abilities, to include the methods OO.o uses. 4. Any way you look at it, the changes needed to get around the patent infringement, if it's real, is relatively simple to accomplish due to its single-ness in the program. 5. Why only Word? Other MS apps also use the XML "stuff". 6. It would seem that anyone initiating such an action would go after "Office" in order to close up any gaps that may allow the infringement to slip into other applications, some of which already have it. Maybe not the infringed part; I don't know. My 2 ยข anyway. Something just smells funny there.
