RE: [libreoffice-users] Re: ODF 1.2 Approval and Extensions (was RE: Calc corrupted an Excel xlsx f...)

I agree.  I think the question was asked better here, in terms of what the consequences for user 
choice are.  I also think the answer about Draw and Impress is nicely concrete.  

The only way I can think of other than that is to see how those features show up in the XML 
representation of the document.  Then one might look to see if there are any others in documents, 
but hitting one that way may be a wild-goose chase.  I agree, there should be a documented list 
somewhere.

It would also be good to see how such features are ignored in other products (older versions and 
newer) that were doubtless implemented in ignorance of those features. (An easy thing to check 
would be to see what Word 2007 would do with an .odt having comments in drawings.  A standard 
action would be to silently ignore the extension.  I can try Symphony too.)

This may be off-topic for [libreoffice-users] except understanding about the interoperability 
impact of configuration options seems useful for those who work with multiple products.

PS: Won't your viewer wordwrap?  I know that there are screwy HTML archive pages that don't figure 
out when to use <p> instead of <pre>, so wordwrap is disabled. (I would love a browser button that 
caused wordwrap to the current width of the browser page.)

My problem, as in all of these things, is then I have to do a setting like that with everyone and 
not everyone likes the result of fixed line lengths (especially when the level of quotation leads 
to a new line break). 

I'll consider it though.

Dennis, I checked and it's already been asked on the dev list:

<http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.documentfoundation.libreoffice.devel/6824>
(note: you will need to click on '(continue reading)' to expand the
responses... or just go over to the dev list and view the thread there.

Still not sure if that answers /any/ questions as it seems that the
responses are as vague (to me) as the question.
