This is off-topic slightly, but isn't letting outlook define the
feature set of evolution like letting IE 6 define the features of
firefox?

I understand the business case for the prioritisation. But policy wise,
shouldn't the Free Software world also want to make features that
aren't interoperable, but in a way that invites proprietary email
clients to support them. (i.e. documenting them in a project neutral
space and making sure it's using as much existing tech as possible)
