Hello,
 
Thanks for the article "KOffice heads toward 1.4", by Joe 'Zonker' Brockmeier.
 
As a koffice developer, I would like to point out the reason for the apparent incompability
with the OpenOffice beta you used to test OASIS OpenDocument interoperability.
There was a late change in the namespaces used by the OASIS spec, prior to it
achieving 1.0 status, and the OpenOffice.org beta that you tried obviously didn't
have that change yet. Please try with a newer OpenOffice.org beta. 1.9.87 works.
(I have also improved the error message so that users hitting this problem have
more information about it).
