* QA update (Rainer)
        + no major news
        + German lists helping out with bug confirming

* ODF 1.2 standards compliance vs. 'the real world'
        + producing known-broken ODF is problematic, unless
          the standard is fixed.
        + much more in ODF 1.2 that is not back-compat with 1.1
        + a superficial fix for this version doesn't really
          address the real problem.
        + Microsoft Office doesn't support ODF 1.2
        + the version is needed to decide which interpretation
          of the incompatible changes in 1.2 to use
                eg. list level / numbering
                + ie. we need to be able to load our own
                  format accurately.
        + MS Office does import the document content
          after 'repairing'
                => no action
