  The boatload of "behave like" features is what really gets me.
Things like "truncateFontHeightsLikeWP6" or "footnoteLayoutLikeWW8".
A specification that's specifies behavior that it explicitly leaves
unspecified.  How... innovative.  Why even bother[1]?

[1] Rhetorical question.  I know why: Microsoft is taking their
proprietary formats and dressing them up in XML and "open standards"
clothing.  Much like a certain wolf with a certain sheep skin...
