Here's an example of why...

// MakeBorderLine() bekommt einen WW8Bytes* uebergeben, um die Funktion
// auch fuer die Tabellen-Umrandungen zu benutzen.
// Wenn nSprmNo == 0, dann wird der Opcode nicht ausgegeben.
// bShadow darf bei Tabellenzellen *nicht* gesetzt sein !
void SwWW8Writer::Out_BorderLine(WW8Bytes& rO, const SvxBorderLine* pLine,
    USHORT nDist, USHORT nOffset, bool bShadow)
{
        ASSERT( (0 <= nOffset && nOffset <= 3) || USHRT_MAX == nOffset ||
                        ((0x702b - 0x6424) <= nOffset && nOffset <= (0x702e - 0x6424)),
                                "SprmOffset ausserhalb des Bereichs" );

Do you really think it accelerates development, to have source code
with lots of hardcoded values, and comments in German?

(Don't bother translating that comment for me, I realized afterwards this was
the .doc writing code, whereas I was looking for the reading code, for a
specific problem).
