--- Comment #10 from Mike Kaganski <mikekaganski at hotmail.com> ---
I want to suggest that we still want to have it "fixed" in a sense. The file
has some unexpected elements, and that should *never* be a reason to reject
files IMO. It's OK to fail on invalid XML, or on invalid values of recognized
tokens; but when we see a *valid* XML, e.g. with plain text content in elements
which we do not expect plain text (attachment 173942), or where some "unknown"
element appears as a child of a known element (attachment 173946), those should
be silently ignored, as we always do elsewhere (OOXML), implying that those may
be some unknown/unimplemented format extensions.
