LibreOffice defaults to use ODF, and saving in another format will open up a
confirmation dialog that the user doesnt want to save in ODF format. On
Windows, with no file extensions shown, the file type column in windows
explorer does say "OpenDocument Text" for odt files, as well as in the file
properties dialog. Users who are aware of the format and want to filter out
only ODF files will utilize the entry, just like we have the entry for "ODF
Text Document".

We could use "OpenDocument Format Files", but that seems a bit to large of a
label in my view.
