I think the whole existing dialog was a complete fail. Never liked
the wording "Keep", seeing as the dialog also appears on first save

format, which feels odd to me. Use/Save might be better.
Maybe put "Save as 'X' anyway" into the current "keep" button, with
"save in 'Y' instead" as the alternative save as ODF. I know I
typically skip all explanatory text and go right to the buttons, only
reading the text if I need to.
Having brought this up before, maybe 6 months ago or so, I'm aware that
this would be a time consuming task and that there's not a lot of
enthusiasm to do it, but man it would be useful to have a some sort of
document instrospection so that we could say /exactly/ what would be
lost in a non-ODF format.
On the other hand, I think it was you, Caolán who pointed out it might
just be easier to implement those bits ...
Sigh. Would that I had the wherewithal and time to do it rather than be
a noisy bystander.
Cheers,
Kevin
