Why? I mean, what would be gained in this case? AOO is a strong enduser application. Corinthia is not. AOO has the history of being a replacement for Microsoft Office and is a suite. Corinthia is neither. Confusing the two even with the best of intentions and with the best strategic goals can do both harm.
I tend to agree with Louis. Also, the Corinthia brand is not exactly strong at the moment. When it comes up in the first page of search results for "Corinthia", it will start to be relevant. And from there it will have to become the first result and be palatable to scammers before any brand-protecting activity is needed.
I surely see value in discussing this is both places, I don't see it urgent for Corinthia. OpenOffice has the concept of "Product", so it could be as easy as setting a build option. Corinthia could start by introducing that notion (you probably changed it already with last month's rename! It's the same, just made configurable at build time).
