I had the same questioning yesterday evening, I found the text too
technical/geeky for that kind of explanation.

I left out the words [consumer], [stuff] and [bug-compatible], I
translated it something like that:
There is still some pre-ODF12 and ODF1.2 only in use out there, where
our users want a more backward-compatible ODF 1.2 extended mode, that
uses deprecated functions in 1.2, and/or is compatible to older OOo
version. Therefore the ODF 1.2 Extended (compat) mode was introduced.

But as you, I'm still not really convinced by my translation.

Cheers
Sophie
