Is this friendly. No idea -- yet :-) Well, the idea behind this requirement was that ODF should be processable by XSLT, for instance, by not encoding information into string data, since that is difficult to parse by XSLT. I don't think that the intention was to require that an ODF document could be transformed from one representation into an equivalent one using XSLT. I hope this helps.
