You are right. I misinterpreted the "save user specific values" as the
setting we had in OOo1.1, but 6.2 in the spec clearly specifies it as
you wrote.

I agree that this is a step into the wrong direction. We have too many
configuration settings and we should remove some of them, but we
shouldn't start with the useful ones. This is a useful one.

The xcs files contain some explanations (if not in the installation you
can find it in the cvs).

A decent XML editor?

Usually OOo should take care of this. OOo2.0 will offer a migration of
user data from OOo1.1 to OOo2.0. Here "risky" or obsolete parts are omitted.
