[odf-discuss] Does OO.o violate OpenDocument? If yes, where?

[M. Fioretti]

Hello,

I have just read on a mailing list I follow this thesis:

"since OO.o doesn't support all of ODF yet (1), today distributing ODF
files made with OO.o isn't at all a feasible solution for
"distributing documents in an advanced open standard like ODF".

(1) was linked to the summary of
http://netmoc.cpe.ucf.edu/Projects/OpenDocument/TestSuite.html

Now, if a program doesn't support all of ODF, this doesn't mean at all
that the files produced with it _violate_ the standard, does it? It
only means that you can produce with it only _some_ kinds of
*perfectly* valid ODF files, namely those which don't need the
unsupported features.

The only way in which the statement above can be true is if OO.o
already supports a specific feature of OFD, but in a way that actually
and explicitly _violates_ the standard, right?

Now, does this actually happen with OO.o and ODF 1.0? Is it true that
you can produce .odX files with OpenOffice which violate OpenDocument?
If yes, in which cases? Is there an official online list of all these
cases?

Thank you in advance for any feedback.

Ciao,
	Marco
