"Microsoft was making OOXML deliberately more complicated than it needed to be"

Un article de blog paru il y a 2 jour, évoque OOXML:

There was an accusation at the time that Microsoft was making OOXML deliberately more complicated than it needed to be — that the goal was to claim it was an "open standard" while making the standard so incomprehensibly vast that it would take a heroic effort for anyone else to implement it. I think this is unquestionably true. LibreOffice has a great blog post on it

Traduction assistée par LLM:

À l’époque, on accusait Microsoft de rendre l’OOXML délibérément plus complexe qu’il ne devait l’être — l’objectif étant de revendiquer le titre de "standard ouvert" tout en rendant la norme si incroyablement vaste qu’il aurait fallu un effort héroïque pour que quiconque d’autre puisse l’implémenter. Je pense que c'est indiscutablement vrai. LibreOffice a d'ailleurs publié un excellent article de blog à ce sujet.
