VC-1 has always had a MP4 mapping. The whole DASH/Adaptive Streaming ecosystem was launched with VC-1 in fragmented MPEG-4 containers. The Smooth Streaming .ismv files were just fragmented MP4 files (either VC-1 or H.264) with a different extension because a lot of parsers back then couldn't handle fMP4.

Maybe a given muxer can't handle VC-1 input, and there are certainly some players that won't play it back, but it is definitely a standard.
