--- Comment #46 from Miklos Vajna <vmiklos at collabora.com> ---
We have this trade-off that we either conform to the spec fast or we care about
existing documents, where users typically expect full backwards-compatibility.
I believe we can't meet both requirements at the same time. My understanding is
that we already write valid ODF in the non-extended case, and we can phase out
the invalid ODF output over time in the extended case as well. So the status
quo looks like a reasonable compromise to me.

Next time perhaps we can detect & fix such problems earlier. I think this was
introduced in commit 7d9bb549d498d6beed2c4050c402d09643febdfa (Related:
#i124638# Second step of DrawingLayer FillAttributes..., 2014-06-02), and now,
6 years later, we can't just fix such things instantly.
