To ensure broad availability and access, Microsoft is offering the royalty-free license using XML Schema Definitions (XSDs), the cross-industry standard developed by the W3C. The license provides access to the schemas and full documentation to interested parties and is designed for ease of use and adoption. The Microsoft Office 2003 XML Reference Schemas include WordprocessingML (Microsoft Office Word 2003), SpreadsheetML (Microsoft Office Excel 2003) and FormTemplate XML schemas (Microsoft Office InfoPath 2003).
Wow, respect. I hope next step will be standardizing schemas just how it was done with CLI and C#. By the way "Generating Word documents using XSLT" approach I was talking about back in May is completely legal now and even kinda encouraged.
Funny enough, WordML is now called WordprocessingML, probably the longest ML-related acronym ever. Download WordprocessingML schema and documentation now and get back to that link 12/5/2003 to grab SpreadsheetML (Microsoft Office Excel 2003) and FormTemplate XML schemas (Microsoft Office InfoPath 2003).
