geez louise... they're expecting folks to just see this headline:
InfoPath 2003.A Global Solution for International Trade
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/assistance/HA011878631033.aspx
- and ignore the "this" in "this implementation".. as in:
http://www.unece.org/etrades/unedocs/
"It is an open and technology-neutral solution that can be easily implemented by SMEs and large companies alike."

on the other hand:

microsoft people's participation in the working groups adds witness:

http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-rdf-testcases-20040210/#ref_cwm

An N-Triples document is a sequence of
US-ASCII characters and is defined by the
ntripleDoc grammar term below. Parsing it
results in a sequence of RDF triples formed
from the subject, predicate and object
productions

http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-rdf-syntax-19990222/#intro

"This specification defines two XML syntaxes
for encoding an RDF data model instance. The
serialization syntax expresses the full
capabilities of the data model in a very
regular fashion. The abbreviated syntax
includes additional constructs that provide
a more compact form to represent a subset of
the data model. RDF interpreters are
expected to implement both the full
serialization syntax and the abbreviated
syntax."

MS is probably just twigging b/c the department of defense went with OpenText
