Your comment will be discussed in the ODF TC. Please do not expect an 
answer before January, because of Christmas holidays. In most cases of 
comments, an issue is generated for the comment. So you might find 
discussion results in the bug tracking tool 
https://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/OFFICE too.

Writing to the office-comment list is an appropriate way to report 
problems with the specification.

I know your name from the LibreOffice project, so in your case you can 
contact a member of the ODF TC, who is involved in LibreOffice, in 
addition.

Kind regards
Regina
