Just imagine in 100 years there might be dozen of ODF versions. Would it make sense to have an internal model for each one of them or wouldn't be the best thing to have transformations between the versions and focus on the latest? Unfortunately these transformations are neither specified nor implemented. Therefore only the latest model is being used. As I worked in different ODFDOM implementations, I am not 100% sure how it react, when the model is saved, if: 1. the ODF package is switched to the latest ODF version, only when something is changed 2. always switched to the latest ODF version (my guess!) 3. or the version is being kept in general In your case you need to explicitly remove the version attribute from the manifest.xml of valid ODF 1.2 files to satisfy your customer, unfortunately making the documents invalid.

You likely have to remove the version from the manifest from all documents you are saving.. Remember there are several locations of the version attribute, in all major XML files, see http://docs.oasis-open.org/office/v1.2/os/OpenDocument-v1.2-os-part1.html#attribute-office_version and in the manifest.xml http://docs.oasis-open.org/office/v1.2/os/OpenDocument-v1.2-os-part3.html#attribute-manifest_version_element-manifest_manifest and for each embedded file http://docs.oasis-open.org/office/v1.2/os/OpenDocument-v1.2-os-part3.html#attribute-manifest_version_element-manifest_file-entry the latter should not be a problem and seldom used..
