I disagree with this statement Paul.

My proposed approach.
1. A full testability assessment of the current ODF standard.
2. Produce a compliance test specification which is objective and implementable.
3. Report back to the main TC on areas unclear|untestable|lacking.
4. Interop can be derived from testability I believe.

Only then can you start to make objective claims to (lack of) interop.

If the main TC ignore the recommendations?
A seperable issue.
