Yes, you are right (see my answer to Niklas' mail). I promise to read
more than the first paragraph of the chapter ("The set of parameters
that define the document view remains unchanged between OOo 1.1 and OOo
2.0. On save operations the document view data is always stored to the
file (same as in OOo 1.1).") in the spec next time. :-)

Well, it's not an idea, it's already possible now. My point was just
that even if we removed more options from the dialog we wouldn't lose
that much because experienced users still could change them externally.
