OD->corigo:
Ok.

Regarding backward compatibility in general:
I think it is valid to evolve and improve OOo. This means new features and
changes to OOo. New features in general can not be handled by older versions.
Otherwise such new features are not needed. Thus, it is quite normal that new
features break the backward compatibility, especially when the new features are
introduced in the OpenDocument file format.

Regarding backward compatibility for new feature "new list level attributes":
The specification has been announced early in January 2008 on mailing list
annou...@specs.openoffice.org. A developer snapshot containing this feature was
available in March 2008. Thus, this change was not <quote>UN-forewarned</quote>.
This feature is also a ODF 1.2 feature and when you configure OOo to store ODF
1.1 (Menu - Tools - Options - Load/Save - General), the former list level
attributes are used for lists in new text documents.

And sorry that I am not 110% perfect in the realization of this feature.
Yes, there might be the one or the other defect. Yes, there might be the one or
the other usability issue regarding this feature. But be sure that I will do my
best to find corresponding solutions for these problems and that I am open for
proposed solutions from others.
