Thanks.  IMHO, a use case should not be identical to the technical 
proposal itself.  In other words, a request to add element <foo> to ODF 
cannot be adequately explained by saying "Two customers want ODF to have 
element <foo>."  We need to take it up a level and talk about what the 
user is trying to accomplish with this feature.  If Florian can do that it 
will be a great help to me and others who are trying to evaluate the 
proposal.
