RE: [libreoffice-users] record changes weakness compared to m$

I trust there's no surprise that the OASIS Standard ODF documents are developed and maintained as 
ODF documents.  Tracked changes are critical to the work of the ODF TC and the review processes 
that the work goes through.

There is a subcommittee of the OASIS ODF TC working on extension/replacement of the tracked changes 
features for ODF 1.3.  That is in response to those who find the limitations of the current 
standard and its implementations unacceptable.  This requirement seems to emerge from users in 
public administration, somewhat akin to the use in law firms.

For what it's worth, I'm in an academic environment and I use the 
record-changes feature heavily with students, collaborators and 
colleagues, some of whom use LO/OO but most of whom use MS Word and 
.doc files. I use LO/OO myself and usually don't have problems, except 
sometimes when there are lots of figures and equations. This has 
improved over time. I love record-changes and would be lost without 
it.
