Hi, I've been using enough bugzillas to know that well. But I've also
been using enough bugzillas to know that they don't do what I envision.

a) No registration needed. It must be *simple* to submit a document that
doesn't convert properly.

b) multiple cases are not necessarily multiple bugs, so they would often
have the same underlying cause and would need to be linked.

c) nice inline side-by-side comparison of the rendered pages in MS
Office and LO as pngs to quickly spot the differences.

Actually, perhaps some issue tracker would be suitable, but I like to
code simple proof-of-concept apps that demonstrate what I'd like. So any
final implementation could well be a drupal module, or a bugzilla
customization or whatever.
