:This is nonsense. Wiki defines "proprietary" (which is what I assume you meant) as "a party, or proprietor, exercising private ownership, control or use over an item of property, usually to the exclusion of other parties". Nothing could be further from the truth in the case of PDF, which has been openly documented since 1993 (and "downloadable" as you cite). There is an entire industry, of 100s (maybe 1000s) of companies, built around producing, processing and consuming PDF content. There is no licensing required to produce or consume PDF, no fee payable, no undocumented file format, and no DRM. The format is even published in book form and available from any good bookstore! As if that wasn't enough, in January 2007 Adobe announced that it is releasing the PDF 1.7 specification to the AIIM for publication by the ISO. [[User:Nemo20000|nemo]] 15:06, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
:: Also XML can contain binary undocumented data, eg:
<code><tag>
%$@G^%U&*H%IHU^&GU^
gu^$G$U^&$GU%^&H%G$
</tag></code>
For programming purposes, PDF is well documented, right?
