All I can say is wow.  This is a really great article.  My thanks to
Bruce for writing it, and to suzume for posting it here.  I think that
this article takes a great new approach on a really old topic:  The
differences that are unique to OOo's functionality.  This article also
beautifully summarizes where 2.0 is different than 1.x.

I would like to see this excellent article archived somewhere
prominently on the site for users, because it really can be referenced
and read over and over again.  My greatest fear is that I will forget
which computer and which browser I have bookmarked it on, and will
have trouble finding it when I need it, so I figure the easier it is
to google, the better.  Bruce, you really have a gift for zeroing in
on technical issues, making them clear to users, and solving problems
that users might not have realized that they were having.  For
example, the issue with regard to conditional styles.  Really well
done.  Forgive me if I sound enthusiastic to the point of being
obnoxious, but I know that I never could have written something as
well as this, and good writing really means a lot to me.
