OK, I know a little more by now:

1) The base format doesn't seem to have a flag for keeping the 
aspect-ration of iamges constant. Our application supports this, but 
doesn't save the flag anywhere. I don't see a problem in doing so.

2) OOo has a feature to insert 'graphical' horizontal rules, which 
inserts an image from a horizontal-rule-image-library. This is purely an 
OOo user interface thing, in that the 'horizontal rule' menu offers to 
insert either a true (but rather plain looking) rule, or insert a 
rule-like graphics. In the format, it's either a rule or a graphics. 
There's nothing special in there for 'graphic rules'.
