Windows Media Metafile
I think this article should be renamed "Windows Media Metafile", as described in this MS article. Microsoft seem to refer to it more widely as this now, encorporating some other file extensions (.wmx, .wvx, .wax). --Jeffthejiff | Talk 18:43, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

How relevant is this format in 2008?
It's a long time since I encountered this format (1997-ish). Is it still relevant, or has it been entirely replaced by others? Andy Dingley (talk) 17:22, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

XML compatibility
When this format was first announced, it (and also CDF) was "XML-like" but not entirely compatible with well-formed XML syntax. In particular it was insensitive to case of element names, but was sensitive to the attribute delimiter character (") but not (') AFAIR. Does anyone remember more, did they ever fix this with later versions, and does anyone have WP:RS to support this? Thanks. Andy Dingley (talk) 17:26, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
