It doesn’t make sense for us to be specifying strings as null-terminated C-style strings and then to base-64 encode that. That is avoiding XML and will cause the markup to interoperate poorly with XML-based tools.

Proposed Disposition of DIS 29500 Comment KE-0066 (Modified: 2008-01-04) Agreed; however, after further review, it appears that this type is not necessary to represent legacy documents and, as such, is not required by the specification. (It was part of the container format for binary documents, but was never used by Office documents). The following changes will be made: Part 4, §7.3.2.2, page 5,115, Child Elements table: Part 4, §7.4.2.33, page 5,129, Child Elements table: Part 4, §7.4.2.34, page 5,132, Child Elements table: cf (Clipboard Data) §7.4.2.5 Part 4, §7.4.2.5, page 5,1225,123: This subclause will be removed. Part 4, §7.4.3.5, page 5,137, lines 726: This subclause will be removed. Part 4, §7.4.3.6, page 5,138, table Enumeration Values: cf (Clipboard Data Base Type) Specifies that the variant type for the contents of a vector shall be cf .
