MS has always done this. Try find WebDAV in MS literature, for example. I'd personally be as worried about another attempt at the "Embrace, Extend, Extinguish" that MS has taken in the past with other technologies like HTML, Kerberos, TCP/IP, HTTP, and so on.

However, all this does bring up a point about the volatility of information these days. With journals more and more existing only in electronic form and print-based back issues disappearing from library and archive shelves, there is an increasing risk for loss of crucial records or even revisionism.
