Yes, I regretted that formulation afterwords.  Of course we shouldn't stop 
development.  What I mean is that if we want users we have to bend our necks 
a bit.

In this case I think it's just a saving bug in OOo. It forgets to save an 
attribute.  There is no indication that it will load the file wrong if the 
attribute is present. And yes, it would be very annoying if OOo couldn't load 
it.
