Yup "WBSWG2", really :-)

Re: "I seriously doubt that anyone has dictionaries really this old."

They definitely definitely do, I was sent it just yesterday :-)

"Anyone who would have entered words with the incorrect encoding should have
immediately noticed that those words don't work"

Yes, they noticed immediately, and were baffled.
 
"I wonder if that dictionary was created by some private property dictionary"

What I think might have happened is that the basis for the dictionary might have
been one if the ones that were shipped with OOo itself, i.e. examine our
"standard.dic". In DEV300_m84
$ strings extras/source/wordbook/standard.dic | head -n 1
WBSWG2

so our "standard.dic" is still in that format, so if it was copied/reused as the
basis for a new wordbook then it stays stuck at that version. A related task I
guess should be to convert our existing wordbook .dics in extras to the latest
format, which as an aside would make them easier to handle/browse in mercurial.

"If we do such a code change it better be right at the beginning at the
OOO 3.4 code line than 'just before the release'"

Oh definitely, I've left the target intentionally blank, up to someone else to
decide the target, 3.4 would seem a natural one.

"I was told that this should be done upon migration with the next major 
release."

Stuffing an automigrate into e.g. the "desktop" upgrade feature would likely
only affect whatever wordbooks were in ~/.openoffice.org at the time of upgrade
and not handle old-format wordbooks that get copied in after an upgrade from
other sources. Always saving as "OOoUserDict1" version would avoid anything like
that.
