--- Comment #21 from [email protected] ---
The flat XML file format has been broken or at least half baked virtually
forever and no one really cares about them.

Even the legitimate user case of improving the ability to store opendocument
formats in git repos has been addressed by "rezip" scripts (see
https://github.com/costerwi/rezip if this was the reason for being interested
in flat XML). They are certainly slow and sub-optimal but good enough for
practical usage cases.

My two cents: ability to write in flat XML should be disabled and the ability
to enable it should be hidden behind the experimental features because it is
just a source of frustration and data loss. Ability to read should be left in
case someone has flat XML opendocument files around (because alone it is
harmless).
