serious reason to preserve unknown features, I vote for this "violation
act"
Inclusion of an unknown feature breaks interoperability and therefore, if such features are inserted into an ODF document, the result is no longer an ODFdocument. Thus such behavior should [issue a warning to the user | not be done | be flagged as fail | be considered as non-interoperable behavior].
An unknown feature is defined as any content placed into an ODF document by any method without first providing or making known a public and also an unrestricted [able to be used by all without royalty or use restriction] and operable implementation of the method used being publicly and widely available to all users and implementors of ODF.
