I don't believe #4 is what happens today. I
believe that some implementations synthesize a default print range based
on their best guess of what parts of the document look like they have content
in them. This derivation of a default range is done differently in
different applications. Some may derive this by prompting the user.
So we bump of your #4.
Since #2 and #3 have nothing to do with the ODF document,
I don't think we should say anything about them.
That leaves #1, which has no defined behavior, which
we could explicitly state as implementation-defined.
You are really left with either having #1 be implementation
defined, or having #4 be implementation-defined. I'd rather have
it be #1 and not go down the road of specifying user actions that lead
no where certain.
