Having become a fan of the flat xml format, this option in LO seems
most interesting and viable.
An often ignored feature of OO was the ability to create xforms (still
evident in LO? No idea). The initial question to understand is when
flat xml LO documents are most appropriate instead of the curr

A recent feature request prompted the strategic question: what is more
important, minimising bugs or adding new features?
Of course, the ideal answer is to do both (;)), but remember, the

perform the same m$ tasks, produce the same m$ output, without paying

On the users mailing list, a significant proportion of a random view

document formats.

behaviour in native odt format, or minimising "interoperability

As far as the request for the ability to download individual
components of LO, this should not be enabled. The whole concept of the

in terms of word-processing, spreadsheets, drawing, etc. and this
should be continued.

Keeping OO separate from LO is a good thing overall; more actors in
the open source office software sector gives healthy competition (like
Opera and Firefox for web browsers), innovation and shows m$ users the
benefits of using a non-proprietary document format.
