I don't see open standards as a thread to our existence (in fact I was attacked on this very site and on ANN for promoting the adoption of XML as an open standard).
I don't know if you've done it on purpose or just misread what was written at that time, but THAT is not what has happened.
I have questioned the decision to use XML for preference files, and I've explained in great detail why, and
YOU attacked me in response.
The "open standard" was never an issue, neither was the reason of the disagreement.
