1 Bug Description
=================
When an `ODT' file with `Nested Footnote Definition' is imported in to
LO 25.2 (dtd. 2024-Nov-23 03:10) it results in Data Loss. There are
two issues:
- The user has to be INFORMED that the LO encountered `Nested
Footnotes' during import and it HAS MOST DEFINITELY _ignored_ some
`Footnote Definitions'.
IOW, LO has to ALERT the user about what it did to the user behind
his back.
- Instead of going with 'Data Loss'-on-Import, LO can rewrite the
input XML to an agreeable equivalent. See attachment for what I
mean here.
This bug is a follow up to
['Bug 163974 - (May be ODF-spec related) Nested Footnotes: LO reports
`Read Error` but `ODFValidator` is quite happy']
and filed against a daily build of LO 25.2 dtd. 2024-Nov-23 03:10

1.1 What ODF spec says about 'Nested Footnotes'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
<https://docs.oasis-open.org/office/OpenDocument/v1.4/OpenDocument-v1.4-part3-schema.html#element-text_note-body>
> Note: The schema allows for the inclusion of <text:note>
> elements as a descendant of a child of the
> <text:note-body> element. While this may be reasonable
> for note types, it is not reasonable for footnotes and
> endnotes. Conforming consumers need not support notes
> inside notes.

How the above `ODT' file is rendered. Note the data loss.

When `lo-25.2-2024-Nov-23
03:10-DATA-LOSS-nested-footnote-definition.odt' is imported in
to LO, I expect the resulting file to look like this.
