It doesn't matter what you think. The restoration of the last position has a
clear known history in OOo [1]. The code is open, and all changes are stored in
the git history of the project; there was never code that would allow to
restore position in any non-native file format. You could had used a native
format (odt), or you could had used a third-party extension (I don't know such,
but who knows), or you could have used MS Word. Memory is an unreliable thing.
But again: there was never such a feature in LibreOffice. Period.

It *is*. Just because you mentioned that you know that you want to have for MS
formats what is *already available* for odt. And for odt, the last position is
stored in the document. And the only way to have the *same* feature in an
external format is to follow that format's creator convention.

And here you are talking about the different thing, as I pointed out. You may
have a point and a reasonable feature request - that is different from what you
wrote here initially. And even if your proposal would be implemented, it
doesn't make the feature that Justin is implementing "short-sighted" other than
the short-sightedness of those who don't appreciate implementation of others'
needed features.
