Re: [office] ODF 1.2 - version info in meta inf?

Sorry to be unclear.

I didn't mean meta data. With "meta inf" I meant META-INF/manifest.xml.

And yes, I also don't think that different streams should/would have
different versions.

IMHO manifest.xml. should be a central place for such information, since
it will never become encrypted
