Came this utterance fomulated by James Knott to my mailbox:

ODF is always backwards compatible. Thing of V1.3 as V1.2 plus new
stuff minus nothing, so anything not understood is meant to be ignored
by the application. Any new parts in a V1.3 document should just not
show up in OO.o V2.X.

Apparently OO.o and StarOffice do have a bad habit of stripping unknowns
when resaving to the annoyance of the KDE folks. The spec allows for
custom functionality and asks that apps respect any they find.
