--- Comment #13 from Mike Kaganski <[email protected]> ---
As far as I can tell, here are a number of issues:

1. LO behaves incorrectly on Mac: it doesn't show a warning when user tries to
open an RTFD bundle. This may be solved in two ways: one is to emit a message
(and not open the bundle), another is to "teach" LO how to open it. Anyway, a
Mac developer is needed to do it, at minimum because this task requires correct
operation with Mac "Bundles" API
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bundle_(Mac_OS_X)).

2. LO is unable to handle the Apple's extensions to RTF syntax (the
documentation link is in comment 6). This issue is essential to fix the first
issue by "teaching", and also enables reading this format in other OSes, thus
essential to consistent operation between platforms.

I suppose that the problem #2 could be solved first, with the help of affected
users providing reference RTFDs and corresponding PDFs, so that a developer
without a Mac could use the PDFs as the reference.

As a side note, there is a GNUStep project that includes the TextEdit app, and
it may be installed under a Linux (though personally I didn't text it). This
app is the "originator" of the format, and the GNUStep does support "bundles",
so maybe this environment could assist a developer with this issue.
