What is concerning to me is what exactly was MS getting sued for?
Was it the entire use of XML in their new Word document format(finally opening up the format for others) which would effectively put every IT company at peril, or was it a particular implementation or customisation that they objected to?


No, it seems to only concern the "custom XML" feature of MS Word. (http://gcn.com/articles/2009/08/17/federal-future-microsoft-word-uncertain.aspx)
