Hi FL.
The updated spec seems to address the most common cases and it's clearly better
than now.
But what i really cannot understand is why you are cutting out a working and a
more precise functionality to a limited one.

At work we have some Win2000 PCs that we are trying to switch to OpenOffice.
Initially i've installed OOo side by side, leaving untouched the file
associations to MSO97 and keeping free the user to test OOo. After some time
i've switched the file associations to OOo to see how they feel. Some of them
asked me to switch back to Excel because some feature they use works better.

With the new spec i can only switch back *ALL* the file association to MSO (or
change file associations manually), while now i can only proceed manually and
before 3.x we can tweak every single association, restoring Excel association
and leaving all the rest to OOo.

To me the differences between 2.x and the updated spec are a reduction in
flexibility with apparent no real advantage.
