At the moment these are defined in a non-normative appendix and apparently the package MIMETYPE item is optional (or is in 1.1). 

If I remember it correctly, then the appendix is informative because 
when we approved ODF 1.0, the registration of MIME types was in 
progress, and we did not want to add normative MIMETYPE unless the 
registration was successful.

We may make the appendix normative now, but that's not related to the 
conformance clauses itself.

I agree that the MIMETYPE section currently does not explicitly say what 
the child element of <office:body> has to be for the individual 
MIMETYPEs, but I would not do so as part of the conformance clauses 
themselves, but as part of the MIMETYPE appendix.
