If it was only that I wouldn't really care. Unless I'm mistaken, this
is more than a "de facto" standard, this is a agreed upon standard, ie
spec. This isn't some office format, this is something several
engineers sat down, through about, published, RFCed and then
finalized.

Yet RFC to all it's adhocracy cred- still is de facto. Absent a legal precedent elevating RFC above what it presently is. Were RFC considerd actionable to break?  The vulture lawyers would be circling comcraptastic's undead corpse.
