The reference to ‘millions of documents’ is an unsupported assertion. Furthermore, it is irrelevant in the context of a standard proposal.

Proposed change: Remove the marketing fluff from the text.

Proposed Disposition of DIS 29500 Comment GB-0480 (Modified: 2007-12-20) Agreed; the reference to the existing corpus of binary documents should be done in a consistent manner, because it’s one of the foundations of this standard. The following change will be made to Part 4, §6.1, page 4,343, lines 3­8: VML is a language for defining graphical objects in cases where DrawingML does not apply, such as text boxes and shapes in WordprocessingML documents and comments and controls in SpreadsheetML documents. This namespace provides the base elements and attributes for defining shape primitives. Other VML namespaces define elements that layer on information beyond the baseline graphical definition. To maintain backward compatibility, all VML namespaces defined in this specification maintain the legacy namespace structure already used by the existing corpus of binary millions of documents.
