Hi :)
Just speculation but ... 

I'm not convinced the ODFAuthors system is simpler.  It's just that more people 
are familiar with it and have been using it for longer.  

However, it seems to be difficult to attract and retain new people and that may 
be an indication of complexities that longer-term users don't notice any more.  

Ok, so i am not convinced the ODFAuthors system is more complex either as i 
have no evidence nor experience either way.  
Regards from
Tom :)

IMO, a system that is easy for newbies and non-geeks to understand and
get work done is MUCH to be preferred.

That said, I think we could have a compromise method of working that
includes both the geeky advantages of metadata and the non-geeky
advantages of different filenames for different LO versions.
