Seems we have to distinguish here a little bit:
It is NOT acceptable for me if I (silently) loose the meta data when not
having Java. Data must be kept when loading/manipulating/storing the
doc, and the user should be able to see that/where extra data is.
It IS acceptable for me if Java is required for writing Plugins to
manipulate meta data or advanced features. Then I also have no objection
to raise the requirement from Java 1.4 to 1.5.
Probably it needs some more discussion to define the requirements what
exactly must be possible w/o having Java, and how the user can see
existing meta data in some way then.
I think you have presented the question in a clear way. I don't think
Java should be *required* to write plugins though, but that's just my
opinion.
Java is not required but probably the most comfortable way to develop
platform independent extensions. I personally see a growing number of
Java extensions and i will support and even promote it wherever i can.
Using for example WebServices in extensions opens a huge field for cool
extensions ...
I would also like to use Java for signatures instead of the mozilla
stuff. But that would increase the Java requirements as well and would
make it mandatory. Anyway this is a separate discussion and off topic here.
Java is available in most cases and of course open source as well. I
personally see there no problem but of course that's my personal opinion.

what are your opinions on making java 1.5 a requirement for OOo 3.0?
Unfavorable.
(this is a personal opinion)
If -and only if- this question is framed in that way, I am also
unfavorable. AFAICT java is not required for OOo to run.
Yep. The party line up to now was to have Java used for
non-essential, non-core features.
Yes. That's the way it works nowadays, and we shouldn't change that.
Requiring Java for an OOo core feature like ODF 1.2 Meta Data support is
a no-no, IMHO.
