No, better agree on consisten usage of the resolution.
wontfix should mean: Not possible at all due to technical reasons and/or
issue will not be incorporated even when a patch exists (product
policy/strategy, legal issues, etc.).
So it doesn't really make sense to work on it before the situation is
cleared in the second case ("don't want this in the product") unless you
want to maintain a patch-set against the original sources...
issues that won't be dealt with by Sun because of workload, bad
effort/gain ratio, of no interest because StarOffice has commercial
replacement, ... ("We won't implement it, but just go ahead and povide a
patch") should not be closed wontfix but "worksforme" with TM
"OOoPleaseHelp" (unless there is a dedicated resolution for this kind of
stuff)
