--- Comment #3 from Toms <ttomst at gmail.com> ---
I'd like to note that this behaviour of creating a new automatic style just
because of a changed officeooo:rsid tag makes it difficult for other programs
to identify tags. For example, translation software usually provides all tags
so a translation can retain meaningless formatting in the target document
(bold/italic etc.).

However, in OmegaT, for example, due to officeooo:rsid tags a sentence may look
like: LibreOffice <f0>simply </f0>create<f1>s</f1> too many tags <f2>. And they
are too hard to understand</f2> when translating.

Some tags may hold some formatting, but most are just rsid tags.

Therefore it makes it challenging to translate ODF documents that contain rsid
tags because a user has to guess which tags are responsible for formatting and
which are just empty rsid tags.

Ideally, the software would be able to simply delete and/or hide rsid tags, but
it seems very difficult if they are baked in styles, because a style can
represent different formatting too.

Correct me if I'm wrong and they shoudn't cause problems. I'm not really a
developer. I know that it's possible to avoid saving these tags, but It would
be much nicer if this mechanism of rsid tags would be more transparent and
other software could simply deal with them.
