And all of that is absolutely irrelevant as LibreOffice makes *no* use of the
Ribbon framework API, which yes is a very rich library. In fact if anything
from a UX perspective it is a very strong argument to *not* use the NB Tabbed
UI as naive users expecting fully implemented API will be confused/disappointed
with the functionality our Glade UI assemblages of UNO controls provide.

I'd anticipate a flood of user requests for 'why doesn't it work like in
MSO'...
