Actually, I would like to know more myself. All I've been running into
are occasional hints in blogs and articles about something deeper. The
most specific post I've found is this one:

Even within OO.o proper, I'm hearing that there's some fighting
between people that want to keep complete backwards compatibility with
the original StarOffice in the user interface, and those who want the
program to run more like MS Office.

This is why we still have such wonderful things as the "This file uses
feature that may not be supported in <insert format name>. Would you
like to save in <the OO.o format> instead?" dialog box. I hate that
thing. :-P

You know, I almost took a networking class from you once, but the
class got canceled. :-(
