--- Comment #18 from Robinson Tryon (qubit) <[email protected]> ---
My thinking is that, aside from functions such as RANDOM(), and given the same
hardware, OS, libraries, and build of LibreOffice, the layout of a particular
ODT is roughly deterministic. Or it should be.

When we tweak the parameters of this (or other) documents in LibreOffice, my
guess is that we're not able to completely capture all of those modifications
*exactly* and store them into the ODF file format. Maybe there are some
floating point numbers rounded off or etc. When the the file is reopened on the
same machine with the same exact copy of LibreOffice, we don't have the same
set of inputs to the function, and so our output is different.

So the important questions are: 
- What information are we not storing accurately?
- Is there any information we're not able to store?
