Thanks to Dennis for his thoughts. They make sense to a newbie to this
field ( with 40 years of intermittent programming experience)

It is interesting if that is a complaint about Configurations/.../current.xml
(usually a zero-length useless component), which is private information from
the producer that is not defined by ODF and can't be meaningfully used by any
software other than the producer. For the most part, that material appears to
be gratuitous and unnecessary.
To my mind, a 'standard' document, say for archival purposes, should not
have any extraneous 'information'. Libre office can include private
information but other XML agents should gracefully ignore this. Likewise
Libre Office should gracefully accept documents which do not conform to
its private structure providing they conform to an Open Document
standard. Do we need a .odt checker?
If my understanding is correct we have an internally inconsistent
document (directory) given that it refers to files which do not exist.
Your reference to 'a tightening of consistency' strikes exactly the
right chord to my way of thinking.
