Well that's unfortunate!

True, but I think the devs are going to be reticent to maintain "two FILESAVE
codepaths". Some alternative ideas:

1) Perhaps the most recent version of MS-Office uses a real XML parser.
Knock on wood!

2) Microsoft attends ODF Plugfests (e.g.
http://plugfest.opendocumentformat.org/2014-london/), so concerns such as this
one could definitely be raised.

Let's test again w/MS-Office, and see where we stand. In any case, it's a neat
idea for a space-saving enhancement. Let's change Status -> NEW
