[libreoffice-users] Version control and fodt

Hi all,

FODT format finally seems to work flawlessly in v4.0.1.2!
Can some core developer look into updating and closing this bug?
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52078

I noticed there are some spurious changes when adding small changes to a 
document. These are configuration settings:
  - ViewLeft
  - ViewTop
  - Rsid

Another gripe is that inserting individual characters within a line causes:
  1. The creation of a new style (named "T1" in my case of a new document)
  2. The addition is a new span element, though styles used is the same!

Does LibreOffice not automatically detect that the additions are using 
the same style (Default paragraph, Default character styles)?

Not that it's much of a problem for me, since I'll be manually cleaning 
up document changes before committing into version control. 
Version-controlled documents deserve extra care, anyway. But it'd be 
nice if LibreOffice doesn't create thousands of new (named) styles given 
thousands of edits.

Lastly, should I be using DocBook or Latex instead of FODT format?

Regards
Jon
