More precice it is acceptable that a number presentation/formatting changes from "1"->"i", "1"->"A", etc. but it is never acceptable that a number ifself is changed.

The situation that you describe here:

Does it have to apply if you
a) load an ODF 1.1 doc into an ODF 1.2 application, or
b) load an ODF 1.2 doc into an ODF 1.1 application, or
c) both

Can you please further explain that?

Thanks.
