Starting with OOo 2.4 release users get a special notification when they try to
open a document which has been created with a newer Office version using the ODF
1.2 format, for example the OOo 3.0 Beta does so. Details about this
notification you can read within the corresponding specification document at:

Currently the ODF notification dialog offers two buttons, "Update Now..." and
"Later". When the user of an OOo 2.4 release selects "Later", the document will
be simply opened and displayed with the given restrictions. If the user selects
"Update Now...", in OOo 2.4 the Online-Update notification mechanism is
triggered. As a result the Online-Update notification says "There is no new
version, your Office is up to date." This is due to the fact that there is
currently no update for 2.4 available, but only a Beta version of OOo 3.0 which
we don't want to notify to all 2.4 stable users.

To resolve this we need to disconnect the ODF notification from the
Online-Update. The idea is to use a web site instead, where we can display
informations according to the current situations. For example while there is no
stable release out there which supports ODF 1.2 format, the web site can inform
users in detail that the document has been created with a newer Office version
which is currently in Beta phase. If the user likes to participate in the Beta
Test, he can follow corresponding links from there. As soon as OOo 3.0 becomes a
final stable release, we can change the content of that site to display
informations accordingly.

A rough schema for the URL which should be opened in a browser when the user
selects "Update Now..." in the ODF notification dialog is looking like this:
http://<office specific part>/%Product&%Edition&%Language&%ODF_Version

For OOo 2.4.1 the URL might look similar to this:
http://tools.services.openoffice.org/OOo2.4.1/notification.html&ODF1.2

Details of the URL we need to discuss with Frank Mau.

Important is to generate the URL dynamicly. So the ODF version information is
not static. By this we would be able to handle future ODF format revisions
accordingly, too.
