OK, I'll try that.

The "template" document is a regular ODF document, created either with  
LO or OOo or any other OOo-based software, so there shouldn't be any  
inconsistency between the versions. I also took care to copy the  
office:document-content opening tag from the existing content.xml in  
the template, so I guess that shouldn't be a problem either, unless  
there are other references to the version elsewhere, but I didn't find  
any.

Yes I did. And the repaired document is correct. I've been comparing  
the original document with the repaired one and tried to change the  
generation to make the one we're creating as close as possible to the  
one LO saves. But it's still failing…

I've seen there were indeed some declarations for automatic styles in  
the document contents, but I must say I don't know ODF enough to  
understand what these are. Basically, all the document contents should  
use the styles defined in styles.xml without any modification at all.  
Are automatic styles needed in this context?

Thanks a lot for all the hints.
