well i'll try to avoid starting a microsnot flame war but seems to me
if someone wants to use that proprietary crap that's their problem,
but they shouldn't make it everyones problem by outputting in that format.

every attempt the eu (and even the feeble usa attempts) takes to make them
open the format and then stick to the opened format.
