So you refuse to tell us what you are saying until Thomas can respond to 
what you are saying? You don't see a problem with that? You posed a 
scenario that comes down to having an issue with a feature being added 
to ODF that is not present in MS Office. I said as much and you replied 
that that's not what you said. Ok, so what _did_ you say? And you reply 
that you'll only tell us what you said after we've replied. This is 
bewildering.

Because you are never rude in emails, right?

In other words, your beef is that ODF 1.2 will have a feature that you 
can't deal with.

I thought you were opposed to ad hominem attacks and personal insults. 
As far as I can see in this thread all insults have come from you 
Marbux. Please try to offer people a minimum of respect. As you well 
know, throwing insults and ad hominems only suggests to the audience 
that you have no real position.
