Well, this is the reason why I spoke about *future* LibO version. ;-)

IMO, it isn't only a question about "better defaults", but a real 
turning point for LibO.

I'll try to clarify my point of view.

Let's say that by the time ODF 1.2 will be out, every feature currently 
supported from LibO will be in ODF specification too. That would be 
simply great.

Then, what?

Will LibO 4.0/5.0 stay at ODF 1.2 until ODF 2.0 (or whatever version) 
will be officially approved, becoming so the "Lingua Franca" in 
exchanging documents for people and organizations or will LibO try to 
implement more features that *may* be included in ODF 2.0, becoming so a 
technical cutting edge application?

They are two completely different visions of the project, I think.

I hope you understand what my point is, here.

Regards,

Gianluca
