Is there a good word to describe the feeling you get when you are
unable to tear your eyes away from something fairly horrific that
intrigues you and you are keen to see how it develops but at the
same time knowing that it should stop but you have no control over
it although you have a nagging feeling that you should be doing
something to stop it, or at least stop watching?

"rubbernecking"
not sure if it is a _good_ word for it. I also don't know if it covers
quite _all_ the conditions you stipulate but it's close.

I trust there's no surprise that the OASIS Standard ODF documents are developed
and maintained as ODF documents. Tracked changes are critical to the work of
the ODF TC and the review processes that the work goes through.
There is a subcommittee of the OASIS ODF TC working on extension/replacement of
the tracked changes features for ODF 1.3. That is in response to those who
find the limitations of the current standard and its implementations
unacceptable. This requirement seems to emerge from users in public
administration, somewhat akin to the use in law firms.

I wouldn't call it 'must-have' in my environment (academic) yet but I am very
frequently confronted with it, e.g. today a colleague offered to a document
back to me with 'changes' on; I reminded him I can't work well that way.
in my case, I also don't _like_ the feature. so much the worse for me.

For what it's worth, I'm in an academic environment and I use the
record-changes feature heavily with students, collaborators and
colleagues, some of whom use LO/OO but most of whom use MS Word and
.doc files. I use LO/OO myself and usually don't have problems, except
sometimes when there are lots of figures and equations. This has
improved over time. I love record-changes and would be lost without
it.
