In this case they whole Default Style is flipped around. The Next Page has
Default style, but is called Converted.. 

But yes, of course, likely most document start with 'Default'. Not sure what
Master Style stuff does. And if you supposed to change the default style, or
should always apply a different style (in some models, you could lock the
default style as unchangeable/ similar what I more or less proposed with
landscape style which can be actually set to portrait; being counterintuitive
too). But that's already workflow topic.

Based on ODT perspective, I would make more sense to call the first stye
'converted'. Instead of having a Default Style in ODT not matching Default
style in DOCX, simply because DOCX export..

Of course not sure how this would be received by the MSO users. Different topic
is of course the 'evil' style names. Being called converted (and the lovely
idea to 'generate' a new style pretty often (even if you used the same style).
But that are all other matters, discussed before.. and also complicated :-(

Lets add Heiko, not assuming he has the magic answer, except sticking with the
current implementation..
