Requires interoperability to be possible - if M$oft protects their file
formats legally (via the DMCA) or technically (via Palladium only
allowing "trusted" MS apps to access the documents) then there is little
you can do and stay inside the quite draconian laws the americans seem
to want for this sort of thing (and which to our shame the europeans
seem to be trying to match)
