Heh, I wonder if they could instead check for the format version and
instead say "This document was saved in a newer version of ODF, which
might contain features Microsoft Office System does not support."

But as both issues (MSO->LibO and LibO->MSO) are about the manifest, it
is understandable that both LibO and MSO claim the files are corrupted.
