No, it is not easy. However, take Docx support as an example: the Stream, which
is not even a notetaker, has been able to read that format for years, while the
actual notetakers have not. Clearly, Humanware has the ability to move fast and
add popular features when they want to, but it seems to most of us that they
simply choose not to do so when it comes to the bn.
