otag is a function, not a string. It generates correct indentation.
Look in koffice/lib/koml/komlWriter.* for what otag really is/does.

Note that if you are working on KWord's loading/saving code, it would
be a really good idea to move away from koml and use QDom directly.
Besides being more efficient, cleaner, and more standard, you would
also avoid having to care about identation :-)
