[libreoffice-users] Side by side install of LibO and OOo

In the Release Notes for LibreOffice 3.3.3, it says:

"For Windows users that have OpenOffice.org installed, we advise
uninstalling that beforehand, because it registers the same file type
associations."

It would be nice to have the option of keeping OOo, for the odd case when
something that works in it is broken in LibreOffice, or when you need OOo
installed in order to provide help to another user who has OOo but not LibO.

The way to do this, I guess, would be to add an option in LibO's
installation, e.g.:

"FILE ASSOCIATIONS
[x] Make LibreOffice the default program for all Open Document Format file
types
[  ] Make LibreOffice the default program for all Open Document Format and
all Microsoft Office file types
[  ] Do not make LibreOffice the default program for any file types

Learn More"

The first radio button would be pre-selected. Clicking on "Learn More" would
bring up a verbose explanation, e.g., a listing ODF and MSO file extensions,
what the consequences of each choice are, perhaps also a pointer to how file
associations are set/changed in Windows.

Would this be a difficult thing to implement? Are there other considerations
besides registration of file associations that make keeping OOo a problem?
