But this indirectly already happens. We explicitly warn the user when saving in
any non ODF format that this might cause data loss. I recently got another
similar request but if I implement all dialogs where we loose information when
we save to another format you end up with dozens of warning dialogs before the
document is actually saved.

If you get the UX team to find a solution for this problem I'm open to provide
code pointers for a solution.

This first needs UX input. IMHO we have already the warning that export to XLS
will loose information so this needs a clever UX concept to not overload the
user with warning dialogs.
