The devs have to look into the ODF spec. In some cases the incompatibility might also be caused through inaccuracy of the spec.

( Reply ) Re: ODF compatibility by Andreas Speck on Tuesday 09/Jan/2007, @02:29 I tried to reproduce our masthead, which we have in openoffice and M$Word, in KWord and in Abiword recently. It was a nightmare. The OpenOffice version is attached to this posting. In Kword, I was able to create something which at least looked similar. In Abiword I wasn't even able to create something similar. Once I got close, but then closing and reopening the file (native Abiword format) messed everything up again. Opening the odt file in another ODF compliant application is a different matter though. Try to open the attached masthead with KWord, and it will be all messed up. In Abiword it's the same. My recreation of the masthead in KWord will also not open correctly in OpenOffice, not to mention Abiword... ODF standard - that sometimes sounds more like wishful thinking. wri-masthead.odt 25KB (25942 bytes) [ Reply To This | View ] Re: ODF compatibility by Thomas Zander on Tuesday 09/Jan/2007, @03:18 Your masthead doesn't look very complex, but you did choose to use some items that are not well supported in OOo (frames). The alternative is to use an anchered image, which may take some tweaking, but will give you better results. The KWord support is not 100%, but it should be enough Anchored content in 2.0 are in design right now, but they really look like they will be awesome!

There you can see how well or bad each app behaves in each section. (people willing to make screenshots of the tests in different versions of the applications, please report to; http://www.opendocumentfellowship.org/~testsuite/ ) Do note that ODF is pretty new; its expected to see compatibility grow over time as applications find bugs and fix them.
