RE: [office-comment] MathML is now "foreign" / illogical conformance (ODF 1.2)

I wrote "one interpretation of this ..." rather than stating it as a
conclusion. I think, it is possible to reach different conclusions here
by reading different parts of the conformance clauses as they relate to
MathML. 

However, I agree that for "subdocuments" the wording seems less
confusing - the clause has been written in an effort to include MathML,
but it misses all cases as you note.
