Fixing the error is exactly what a company / project should do, otherwise
we're back at mimicking bugs like in the pre-bubble HTML -days ...

SO IMHO what MS-Office perhaps should do is give a little warning about
it reading an ODF 1.2 while only supporting 1.1 instead of the current
error message. And OOo should also set this attribute correctly

"we correctly implemented that part of the specification" ? :-)
