--- Comment #3 from Eyal Rozenberg <eyalr...@gmx.com> ---
TBH, I've always been of two minds about "fully-styleable" comments, with
paragraph styles and such. 

One extreme of how to consider comments is as something which is basically just
textual, and the document viewer or editor can choose to put them anywhere, in
different layouts (boxes near the page, sidebar, comment area with one line per
comment etc) and the comment author should not make any assumptions regarding
how they're going to look.

The other extreme is of the comment being a sort of a mini-document in a box.

I believe this contradiction or duality is reflected also in this bug:

> ... when we have line spacing in the DOCX file...

so, the thing is, we _always_ have line spacing in our comments - because they
are made up of paragraphs, with paragraph styles, which include line spacing.
What if it were an ODT with a comment paragraph style which included a line
spacing other than the default? How do we distinguish between a "legitimate"
decision to use 1.5x spacing - which we support - from an "illegitimate"
decision? It's problematic to use the fact that the input file is DOCX as the
criterion.
