    + currently, have unreliable results; so figures smaller than they look
    + crashers shrinking all the time.
    + validation testing (Markus)
        + have 2x fixes for officeotron - reduces numbers significantly
          for calc at least.
        + at some stage a writer dev. should look at docx validation issues
          some duplicated / mis-ordered elements - so ~nearly every doc is
