If we go in this direction, will we not gradually erase many of the
distinctions between Impress and Draw?

Well, even if the rest of the text appeared in some extra cells which then had
to be deleted, it would not be an illegitimate thing to want to do. Plus, one
could delete the extra text before the import. But - perhaps I'm not following
your simile?

> Why not just copy and paste?

1. Because it may not be the same person, nor the same computer, saving the
Impress presentation and opening the Draw document.

2. For the same reason we don't need to copy-and-paste to convert an Impress
presentation into a Powerpoint presentation.

3. Because essentially all editor applications have both import filters and
export filters, and don't rely on other apps importing their native format.
