Hello everyone, 
I vote for this issue because I am part of a team at DaimlerChrysler Research &
Technology that currently implements a document generator for technical
documentation which has OpenOffice as the main target format. To fill the
document templates with the meta information from the database we currently have
to abuse the "user field" under Fields->Variables->User Field. 
I suggest changing this functionality because:
- The OASIS Format does not place this limitation, so a valid File is not
interpreted properly by OOo
- I guess People either don't use the feature at all or they need a lot of
user-defined fields
- MS Word compatibility requires it (e.g. open a Word doc with 5 user defined
properties)
- Externally generated OOo files with more than 4 user-defined meta information
fields behave unlogical: A field referencing a user-defined meta tag >4 is not
filled with the correct value or at least let empty, but is filled with the
value of the first user-defined document property.
