Re: [libreoffice-l10n] [Pootle] Translation help for unit 40270452

Hi :)
The quote is a real mess.  It looks like some contortion i might write on a bad day.  How about 
going for a total re-write?  Something like

"ODF 1.2 (Extended)(compat) is written to be more compatible with ODF 1.0 and 1.1 files, as well as 
with files that use plain ODF 1.2 without the Extended features."

and just leave out the excuses about why the new format got written. 

Regards from 
Tom :)
