You may well be correct, AFAIK. Your comments will give the developers
an alternative approach. (To take the optimistic view that there is a
point to making any comments.)
For myself, I don't trust a formula for weighting. Different factors
weigh differently with different users.
If the user has an array of options, the user, in effect, assigns weight
to various factors by the choices made.

Hi
When all's said you're fighting the fact the recent documents list is a
MRU (simplest programming model) while actual user needs are quite
different (for example an accounting sheet may be opened every month, so
even if other files have been opened more recently it should stick in the
list).
So an ideal list would be closely tailored to each user habits. I suspect
assigning weights to the various parameters (last open time, number of
accesses, current OO.o shell) and using some sort of bayesian algorithm
(trained with actual uses of the list) might work best.
