Thank you. It is a worry that 17 out of 24 "features" are in fact devoted to "interoperability" with m$. Seems to prove the hypothesis that making LO a poor-man's m$-clone detracts from standards compliance. The web page indicates that because development of standards is (necessarily) slow, it is sensible for LO to break odf validation by default. This is a very surprising conclusion for an open software product; to adopt the m$ embrace, extend, extinguish policy and leave standards development to "catch up". Any m$ fan should be laughing at the strategic folly of LO... So, new users to LO, be _very_ _very_ aware: LO documents by default are not standards compliant, which minimises the possibility that such documents created by LO in default mode will be accessible by other (including future LO?) odf-compliant products. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
