Well, fortunately this issue *is* going to be fixed. And this is a good thing as
meanwhile the demand is visible. But it is not wrong to wait for the demand for
a change of code that was written because it is following an established 
standard.

The real problem is how Microsoft treats standards and that users of MS software
always see the problems caused by those who follow the standards and not by
those who violate them. I like what Paul Tomblin wrote about that: "I love the
way Microsoft follows standards. In much the same manner that fish follow
migrating caribou."

Standards compliance is especially important for cross platform applications
like OpenOffice.org. So it is not surprising that we try to follow them as much
as possible and deviate from them only if necessary and if considerable demand
for doing so has been shown.
