Another example of a standard M$ practice (or should that be M$ Standards
practice).
1. Announce you are going to conform to a Standard
2. Partially implement the Standard
3. Add "Enhancements" to the Standard
4. Announce that the M$ Standard has been adopted by so many people that it
is now The Standard.
