Sorry, yes. Not sure where my mind was while typing the bug report ..

Surely better compared to the current situation. So +1 from me.

Well I personally dislike sweeping things under the carpet. It makes tracking
of bugs very hard, and simply solving an issue at the wrong level. So it's
rather a 'last resort'. Which isn't the last option by definition, but also
matter of cost/benefit and how much harm it can do
I encountered the same problem in slightly different consternation at bug
146491. Where it seems - no understanding of the code - that hidden fields are
written to DOCX. Which is likely wrong (polluting the file). Which makes
showing hidden fields in navigator more of a feature
