FYI, just interested if there is a known issue here and/or compliance
errors you can help pandoc with...

I currently have only access to OpenOffice 3.0.

What would be a good approach to debug this? My plan is to create
native docx with something like code blocks and see how this is
formatted and how it fairs in OO, but I suspect that this is what you
did in the first place.
