Please do not see new software features as changes to the document format. Over 99% of new features do not have any impact on the document format, which is the same as before. And there might be a change in the document format which is not reflected in any software feature. So, new software features and standard compliance are different problems/issues. When you talk about standards document formats you never consider software features, because the two are not related. You should really have a look at some of the OASIS ODF TC meeting minutes to understand what the standard is about. > Agree, it means that if a user is concerned about compatibility, they > must understand to disable the default settings in LO. No, if a user is concerned about interoperability - as I am - he should use the ODF 1.2 Extended document format, because this is the format with the best standard compatibility. > How does OO compare; are documents created to the odf standard by default? Same as LibreOffice. Actually, the "extended" format strategy was started by OOo when OOo 2.0 was launched back in 2005, and has been maintained so far. Actually, not even Microsoft was able to complain with this strategy, and has never dared to say that the ODF Extended document format was not standard. -- Italo Vignoli - italo.vign...@gmail.com mob IT +39.348.5653829 - mob EU +39.392.7481795 sip it...@libreoffice.org - skype italovignoli GPG Key ID - 0xAAB8D5C0 DB75 1534 3FD0 EA5F 56B5 FDA6 DE82 934C AAB8 D5C0 -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org 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
