1. I agree that this is something to try at the Plugfest. 2. It would be unfortunate were Microsoft ODF 1.2 support to require the attribute (thus rejecting existing OO.o and LO documents that don't have it) or to produce it (thus causing the down-level problem for themselves in their existing ODF 1.1 consumers).

I'd hate to make a change, and then have next version of Office suddenly require that attribute and reject docs otherwise. Maybe something to try at the Brussels Plugfest.
