I don't mean this as a troll, but there are two problems with your statement. 1) Despite the wishes and hard work of many (including myself), OOo is still a minor player in the office suite market. There may simply be not enough OOo password protected documents out there of enough value for someone with the expertise to break the encryption to bother even trying. 2) If a break did occur, would the breaker publish that fact? A white hat might, but there seem to be many more black hats than white nowadays. -- Fail to learn history-repeat it. Fail to learn rights-lose them.
