MS Office 2003 and older? It does not look reasonable to me,

I didn't know that. I'm still a Office 2003 user (and don't intend to switch
to a newer version)
The famous "ribbon" interface just wasted my time. That is why I love that
LO has a menu interface PLUS Office 2007/2010 format support (for those
colleagues who insist on having the latest...) and 1 million lines in Calc
:)

Forget all I said about ODF Add-ons. Even if the Office 2003 user base is
large enough now (MS never reveals these numbers, do they? :) ) I agree that
it would not make sense to start such a project now for a product that will
be unsupported soon (ish... in 2014).

Please concentrate on the updates then :)

Cheers,
Pedro
