RibbonX getPressed/getEnabled callbacks should have a [in,out] parameter for
repurposed commands instead of [out,retval]. The parameter should be
initialized with whatever Office would have done if there would be no
repurposed command. getEnabled, if the parameter on [in] is false, but on
[out] is true, would force commands to be enabled (which is currently not
possible). In this case, the default action would be undefined, but the
repurposed onAction could react to the command. getPressed would allow
finding out what Office's unmodified button state is by examining the
parameter on [in] (which it currently cannot).
Alternatively, both could return a 3-state, off/on/unmodified. This would
eliminate the necessity to requery when Office changes its internal decision
about a button state and may be less of a change to the current model.
