My problem is with having the _final_ version of a ODF1.2 to be written in ODF1.2. In that case the specification of the standard would depend on that specification itself. As mathematician I can well imagine a text that has more than one self-consistent interpretations, ie. a different implementation could implement that standard differently but in such a way that its presentation of the standard again fits what it is doing.
