Thank you. It is a worry that 17 out of 24 "features" are in fact
devoted to "interoperability" with m$. Seems to prove the hypothesis
that making LO a poor-man's m$-clone detracts from standards
compliance. The web page indicates that because development of
standards is (necessarily) slow, it is sensible for LO to break odf
validation by default. This is a very surprising conclusion for an
open software product; to adopt the m$ embrace, extend, extinguish
policy and leave standards development to "catch up". Any m$ fan
should be laughing at the strategic folly of LO...
So, new users to LO, be _very_ _very_ aware: LO documents by default
are not standards compliant, which minimises the possibility that such
documents created by LO in default mode will be accessible by other
(including future LO?) odf-compliant products.
