Story: OOXML expert: ODF standard is broken
It is quite simple
The ODF 1.0 version of the schema is the wrong version to use because the document itself clearly labels itself of being in the ODF 1.1 format. You can wish it to be an ODF 1.0 document all you want, but it doesn't make it so.
Remember, what Alex did with OOXML was different. He took a version N OOXML document and tried to validate it with a version N+1 version of the OOXML schema.
But what he did with ODF was take a version N+1 ODF document and tried to validate it with an version N of the ODF schema. This is an entirely different operation. One test is testing the backwards compatibility of the schema, the other is testing the backwards compatibility of document instances.
If you did the same test with ODF, taking the version N document (say the ODF 1.0 standard itself) and validated it with the version N+1 schema (ODF 1.1 in this case) then you would find that it works perfectly.
