Hi :)
Wow, there is a lot of detail in that 1st post but it's still looks like a good bug-report to me.  
The main gist is very clear very quickly and then the rest of the post just supports that.  So, 
it's a good post.  

Of course QA triagers are a bit "snowed under" at the moment and could probably use a hand if 
anyone is "up for" joining in with them.  No coding skills required although you might learn odd 
little bits (or even massive amounts if you are up for it) by joining in with them.  

Although they might not get around to it any time soon it is good to know that the report is there 
for people to notice sometime in the future.  it might grab a devs attention some day.  Hopefully 
before it becomes urgent.  
Regards from 
Tom :)

Hi :)
Bug report time! :)  I think it would be good to see documents get lighter

They already compare favourably with documents produced by other 
office suites but even lighter than that would be great

     Hi,

     thanks for the answers so far, however my question isn't answered yet.

     @Tom: Well, it's also my plan to stick to using styles. The
     problem here
     is not the odt-format itself, but it's the somewhat "messy"
     implementation in LibreOffice. As I said, when manually removing
     direct
     formatting (which hasn't been applied anyway) I get

     <text:p text:style-name="Title">This is my title</text:p>
     <text:p text:style-name="Text_20_body">This is a text body
     paragraph.</text:p>

     in "content.xml", which is straight and clean odt-formatting.
     However,
     my trouble is the default behaviour of LibreOffice, that it
     defines all
     those styles "P1", "P2", "T1", ... which are apparently perfectly
     meaningless and unnecessary.

     So, who knows how to get rid of this overhead by default? Or
     should this
     be considered a bug?

     Cheers,
     Holger
