to me as well..

my favorite:
http://translate.google.com/#fr|de|LiebreOffice
which I assume is most close to the intended marriage between the
french libre and the english office in my opinion.

I think this is kind of good Idea..

I'd rather think of a *proposal* file which has been approved by simple
voting on this list.

I agree there should not be any official "pressure" of pronunciaton, but
I think it couldn't harm to have a proposal sound file for those who
look for advice or - in this case - look for a way writing LibreOffice
in their native language at all.

I think overruling things and help to find a consensus to understand
each other must not be mistaken.
