In summary, OOo ODF documents will not be compatible with MSO ODF
documents. And that's fine: it's be cause of incomplete specifications
on the part of ODF and bugs in OOo.

MSO formats have a reference implementation: MSO itself. ODF has no
reference implementation, and OOo is _not_ a reference implementation
by any means. Due to MSO's foothold in the field, it _may_ be wise for
OOo to follow MSO's example in ODF implementation. That is, to use MSO
as the reference implementation. Thoughts?
