How compliant is Microsoft with the XML standards?
Microsoft has been at the forefront of XML practically since the inception of the language, and significantly, most of the XML recommendations and working drafts that the W3C has produced in the last several years have included input and participation from at least one, and in some cases, several Microsoft employees. Microsoft has been very much committed to working with the W3C standards bodies to insure that XML develops in a way that benefits all users, and has had critical input in the development of a number of different areas, including the XML Specification, DOM, XSLT, and Schema Definition Languages. Microsoft is committed to staying compliant with emerging specifications and standards.
