Eike Rathke, thank you for this valuable insight. I think this points to the
value of having some documentation on how to open up an .odt archive into
separate files, and how to generate the .odt archive again.
Is this written down anywhere, that you know of?
If it is not written down, and I were to write it, where in your experience
would be a good place for me to put that documentation?
Is there documentation about the file format which includes the constraint
about the 'mimetype' file?
(In an ideal world, there would be no bugs, and no need to modify the contents
of an .odt file outside an application. But in this imperfect world, it is
useful to have that option.)
