We will make sure that ODF support will be maintained. If OOo does not implement some part of the spec then it won't work and you have a right to tell them to fix their application since they claim to have good support.

We are doing the same, one of the things that we need to do is to provide various features for ODF; we are doing exactly that.

Read Linus' post about standards.
Standards are not replacement for developer communication, you shouldn't treat them religiousely. OOo people are fighting the same war as you, so it will be better to talk with the before implmenting some inconsistent changes in the format's support code.
When 1st 2 serious suites implementing format that is claimed to facilitate interopeability are incompatible with each other, the reputation is lost and every body looses in effect.
