you mean this angle here from ODF 1.2 part1, right:

the code here looks like it's importing that, but since it just uses
convertNumber, which does not handle any units and just ignores them, i
don't understand how "90" would result in something different than
"90deg".  (there's an identical bit of code in TransGradientStyle.cxx)

it looks like we don't implement support for units like "deg" or "rad"
or "grad" at all; this should be added to sax::Converter, something like
a convertAngle function.

then if it is indeed the case that we import the number as 1/10 degree
and not degree as specified (which i haven't checked, but the "3600"
looks very much like that), we have a bigger problem.  in that case we
need to change the import and export to do it correctly, and put a
special case hack into the import to check the generator and fix up
wrong values from old OOo/LO versions.
