In the WinRT APIs (not to be confused with the Windows RT on Atom) introduced with Windows 8, strings are immutable. I suspect that hardware features may be exploited to ensure that they stay that way. I haven't got my head around how that works with the still-supported BSTR at the native

The proposal that Regina brought to the ODF TC is safer. It does not depend on attempting to identify the producer. (In fact, the ODF specification says that the generator identification is *not* to be used in this manner. It is also unreliably used.) The idea is to face reality and affirm
