BTW Nick gave the legalistic reason that POI commiters are required to 
swear that they have never been bound by an exclusionary
agreement with Microsoft regarding these file formats.  (He was slightly 
inaccurate in his version as we don't require you to never have SEEN the 
specs because some were/are released publically w/o restriction, we've 
never used the word sign without "sign or been bound by" as 
employer/member agreements can be binding w/o you signing it)
