You can achieve the left/right alignment with a very large tabstop definiton
for the paragraph. Special handling for L/R alignment is a WF as ODF is our
foundation.

The enhancement is for handling text within a paragraph style.

Suspect the limiting factor will end up being ODF standards, as this paragraph
layout is not achievable as a described style in ODF. So, while it could
probably be implemented--we'd have to extend ODF to be able to hold it in our
document archives. Making it somewhat undesirable.

By the way, yes tab stops are not a very efficient way to do this.  However,
the layout effect is trivial to achieve using either tables, or frames
depending on the needs of your document.

New to UX advise, for discussion of merit. But to my mind a WONTFIX.

I see what you mean here. However, it is still something that is badly needed,
and really widely requested.

I don't think either of these works. It's certainly very inefficient to embed
tables around all lines in a paragraphs. 

Let me give you an example. Here is a document I wrote recently (exported to
pdf from LO):  http://www.richardneill.org/images/electronics_supervision.pdf
Look at the 3rd page (titled "Resistors"), and the small blue side-notes on the
RHS, such as "← Voltage across the resistor". There are very many of these
throughout the document. These should be right-aligned consistently, but as you
can see, they are actually left-aligned with inaccurate bodging with tabs and
spaces.

It's important that the "right-align of partial text" is easy to do (ideally as
simple as a single click on the format button) - and a table is not the way to
do it (partly as it takes time, partly because tables are semantic objects, not
layout objects).

Thanks
