File with gutter produced by current LO 7.2

Currently the information "gutter" is written to file so that it produces an
additional space. Implementations, that do not know the feature "gutter" get a
different layout of the document. This affect especially LO7.1 and of cause
other implementations like AOO or Word.

I have presented the current way to the ODF TC and there were resistance to
specify it this way. I agree with the concerns and suggest to write it to the
ODF file so, that the effective margin is written to the file and in addition a
"gutter-position" attribute that contains the amount of space, which the
consumer can treat as gutter-margin. That way the layout is stable throughout
different versions of LibreOffice.

Open attached file in LO7.1 and in LO7.2 to see the layout problem.
