Actually since modern word processing formatting is done much the same way as html (some code soup + separate styling), there is no reason except for developer time that one could not inspect the formatting off an odf document the same way they can inspect a web page formatting in a modern browser like firefox via the style inspector.

In the past years, the html world stopped trailing word processing formatting and word processing is now trailing html world
