I just saved a document as MS 2003 XML and when I reopened it it was 
quite creatively messed up: broken headers and footers, bad fonts, 
weird vertical strips of text, ... .

I did a search for '2003 xml' at bugs.documentfoundation.org and found 
a number of old related bugs. The ones that I looked at had not had 
any attention for years except for annual checks that they still 
happen. It doesn't seem that it's a high priority. I hadn't even 
realized that there was such an export format.
