I don't want to sound rude, but you don't know what you are even talking
about and what are the problems that would be caused by this. Now we
welcome you to submit any patch to address the problem in AbiWord.
ODT is not a golden hammer, and AbiWord hasn't been designed to map ODT,
nor has ODT been designed to map AbiWord. That mean perfect round trip
conversion is not happening.
