hmm if the user says "ODF 1.2" then no, if "ODF 1.2 extended" then yes,
but see below ...

well i don't think it's likely, we don't have "ODF 1.1 extended" now for
a counter-example; i don't think that it existed after OOo 3.0 added ODF
1.2...  indeed my install of OOo 3.0.1 has only "ODF 1.0/1.1" and "ODF
1.2" as options.

there were some errors there in the past because extension elements and
attributes used standard ODF namespaces, which is not allowed.
hopefully those should be fixed now.
