Ok, but this should be evident, or recovering from confusion may be
more upsetting than realinzing there are little templates (still
thinking to the first impact on the novice  user).

Maybe this is a stupid question, but:

OK, switching to OASIS will make the problem disappear, but, even now,
with Kword already using an XML, OASIS-alike format (if I understand
correctly), shouldn't it be easy to just grab all existing OOo
templates, run them through some Perl/whatever script, and make
KOffice versions?

If I'm right and it doesn't require many extra libraries, or complete
knowledge of the format internals, maybe I can help with this.
Do we have two equivalent OOo/Kword templates to start from?
What do you think?
