Microsoft X-Tag vs Mozilla X-Tags

Recently, Microsoft started with the new X-Tag library for creating custom elements. The website says:

The X-Tag is an open source Microsoft-supported library that wraps the W3C family of standard web components APIs to provide a compact, feature-rich interface for rapid component development. Although the X-Tag offers function hooks for all Web component APIs (Custom Elements, Shadow DOM, Templates, and HTML Import), this requires support for Custom Element. In the absence of support for its own custom elements, the X-Tag uses a set of polyfills shared with the Google Polymer policy. You can view our package options in the Assembly section

As far as I remember, not so long ago even Mozilla had a similar project with the same name X-Tag .

How do these projects differ from each other? Or is it the same project with updated branding?

After some digging, I managed to find a thread in reddit that confirms that they really are the same project.

Infact, the original developer, Daniel , used to work at Mozilla when he created the X-Tag project, but has since moved to Microsoft.

Therefore, now this is a project under Microsoft, based on x-Mozillian. Also confirmed on Twitter .
