In English, the following:

... and that OOo does not handle the Lotus Symphony created ODF
text document completely according the ODF specification.

means exactly that OO doesn't follow ODF specification.

I have done a lot of work with XML during my 20+ years in IT.  Let me say that 
it is completely possible to violate a standard and use nothing outside of the 
published standard.  The primary offender in these situations is one developer 
storing data inside of attributes when there is a higher level tag it should be 
stored in.  I have seen that done many many times.  Attributes aren't meant to 
convey meaningful major data, they are ment to be used for minor descriptive 
data.  Major data has higher level tags.

Symphony is able to save and restore this data some place in the file.  Other 
word processors claiming to support the ODF specification were able to get the 
headings correct as well.  They are obviously all looking at the same thing if 
they can achieve that...yet OpenOffice cannot.  I think if you did deeper into 
that specification you will find that the information you are storing in an 
attribute has a tag specifically designed for that information.
