Hi :) Initial releases of documentation had to be rushed through in order to re-brand community-written documentation released under copyleft agreements in order to help promote LibreOffice and also hopefully avoid Oracle doing their usual money-grabbing & court-action weirdness. A lot of companies seem to be buying-up trademarks and ip-rights and stuff in order to generate income from court actions. The team got the job done well.
Now the priorities are a bit different and there might be time to deal with issues like this now. Would it be a good time to start fresh documents with a very much more recent version of LibreOffice with fresh styles and everything so that we avoid legacy issues that might be being carried over from the early days of OpenOffice? Copy&pasting contents, perhaps the contents.xml (?), might be a good way to totally refresh&update everything?

Having specific style names can cause problems when converting a document into another format such as RTF or Word and I speak from personal experience when converting templates into different formats - never easy, but better when standard style names are used. Also, using the standard style names for the documents also emphasises the versatility of LibreOffice when used for creating large and complicated documents. This could be a good selling point in getting users to adopt LibreOffice as their main office software. It makes me think that LibreOffice missed an opportunity when it came into being from OpenOffice. Even just renaming the style names so that the names start with LO instead of OOo. Obviously there could be a legacy problem from existing documents, but new names could be used when creating documents for a new version of LibreOffice, that is 3.5.
