--- Comment #17 from Eyal Rozenberg <[email protected]> ---
I rarely work with raw ODF or Flat ODF file, but recently I had the chance of
inspecting and editing one. I was surprised to find auto-styles with
oficeooo:rsid properties (as I didn't do anything which I thought would trigger
that).

So, I thought to myself: Ok, maybe LibreOffice just creates rsid's
spontaneously for some purpose. But then, as I searched through the document, I
realized those rsid's are not _used_ anywhere. They only appear in the
auto-styles definition.

The commit which supposedly added them:

https://git.libreoffice.org/core/+/062eaeffe7cb986255063bb9b0a5f3fb3fc8e34c^!

talks about rsid-based comparison. But - since they're not put there
intentionally by the user, and since they don't affect the document - they
should be ignored in comparisons.

So, in my book, that means they should simply not exist in the file. They don't
add information. It is at best just clutter.

Out they go!

(In reply to Mike Kaganski from comment #10)

Dropping properties that do not add information about the document and do not
reflect user editing actions/intents - is an improvement. Make files be more
terse (especially Flat ODTs) - is an improvement.
