If we have to help MSO users migrating to ODT,
I suggest that we need to focus on

MSO 2007, 2010 -> ODT conversion

and forget about the older MSO formats.
The reasons are

0. Basically the conversion works OK
1. We dont have to enough resoures.
3. MSO formats older than 2007 will fade out
4. Suggest them to keep the files as is, and using ODT when creating new fi
les.

I agree MSO 2007 and 2010 should be the priority, but a big advantage of
LibO could be that it *can* read older formats.  Government regulations
and company policies often require documents to be retained for years
and sometimes decades.  MSO 2007+ no longer allows opening MSO <97
documents, because it is unable to do so securely.  If LibO can open
these older documents, it's one more reason to switch away from MSO.
