Thanks for making this clear to an ODF novice like me :)

I was wondering what standard I would use for my project and settled for 
ODF v1.1 (given that nearly everywhere, OASIS website and Wikipedia) 
refered to v1.2 as a draft.

Is there an overview of the changes to the standard between v1.1 and v1.2 ?

It might be possible to have both an odt11 and odt12 backend with odt12 
inheriting the bulk of odt11 and implementing just the differences.

Thanks in advance,
