This is actually very useful.  Of course we will need to balance our work 
in improving ODF 1.0 with our work in creating ODF 1.2. 

So when I read your defect reports against ODF 1.0, I also check the ODF 
1.1 standard and the draft of ODF 1.2, to see if they occur there as well. 
 For the more serious issues we will issue errata for ODF 1.0 and ODF 1.1. 
 But for minor ambiguities and for editorial issues, we might only address 
them in a technical revision, i.e., ODF 1.2. 

So even if we do not address all of your issues in ODF 1.0, your defect 
reports are still useful to us for when we review ODF 1.2.
