Is that of interest to others?
If I create a (valid) odf document, save it to disk
should it remain unchanged in terms of content when it passes through
another application?
I guess metadata will change (date last edited etc), but stuff the user wrote?
Should that remain 'fixed' (markup + content?)

I know open office broke a process I used when they changed one of
their versions
so I'm all for it.

Any thoughts?
