Very well stated.

For layout perfect, I don't think we are in a position to say what we want
since it is not in scope for ODF (v.latest).

I could support Radoslavs position, yet I hear people on this list support
pixel|layout perfect (visual similarity) as an interop issue, e.g. with respect
to indexing. Perhaps there is a middle ground between wysiwyg and PDF?
Page breaks are certainly an issue here.

I can only suggest the TC be asked to look at this and report back on
how this might be addressed via the standard, as a deliverable.
