Well it does set a kind of precedent. That could be a compelling argument i suppose.

Also the open doc “standard” that’s been set up recently. Remember most govt’s love standards and pointing out that they’re not complying to a standard should be a bit upsetting to them.

Just as long as open doc disallows “extensions” that aren’t automatically made part of the standard. That’s a famous “billy and da boyz” tactic from way back.
