I agree.  I think the question was asked better here, in terms of what the 
consequences for user choice are.  I also think the answer about Draw and 
Impress is nicely concrete.  

The only way I can think of other than that is to see how those features show 
up in the XML representation of the document.  Then one might look to see if 
there are any others in documents, but hitting one that way may be a wild-goose 
chase.  I agree, there should be a documented list somewhere.

It would also be good to see how such features are ignored in other products 
(older versions and newer) that were doubtless implemented in ignorance of 
those features. (An easy thing to check would be to see what Word 2007 would do 
with an .odt having comments in drawings.  A standard action would be to 
silently ignore the extension.  I can try Symphony too.)

This may be off-topic for [libreoffice-users] except understanding about the 
interoperability impact of configuration options seems useful for those who 
work with multiple products.

PS: Won't your viewer wordwrap?  I know that there are screwy HTML archive 
pages that don't figure out when to use <p> instead of <pre>, so wordwrap is 
disabled. (I would love a browser button that caused wordwrap to the current 
width of the browser page.)

My problem, as in all of these things, is then I have to do a setting like that 
with everyone and not everyone likes the result of fixed line lengths 
(especially when the level of quotation leads to a new line break). 

I'll consider it though.

Dennis, I checked and it's already been asked on the dev list:

<http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.documentfoundation.libreoffice.devel/6824>
(note: you will need to click on '(continue reading)' to expand the
responses... or just go over to the dev list and view the thread there.

Still not sure if that answers /any/ questions as it seems that the
responses are as vague (to me) as the question.
