Which areas, exactly?

Is the spec the right place to solve such a problem? Or is it maybe
necessary to go the "openfile" route I proposed here:

http://robertogaloppini.net/2007/04/01/file-format-hidden-traps-in-opendocument-or-any-other-open-standard-and-how-to-avoid-them/

(either solution would be OK for me, as long as the problem disappears)

Thanks,
