Apache OpenOffice / LibreOffice

If the quote below is true, files between these two office suites currently may not be easily exchanged:

One particular area that concerns me is cross-compatibility. I'm hearing stories about difficulty in transferring ODF files from LibreOffice to Apache OpenOffice, with formatting of things like tables being messed up in the process. This is completely unacceptable: one of the benefits of adopting an open standard is the ability to swap in and out different applications. If that theory proves impossible in reality, we have a huge problem.

Yes but in favour of LibreOffice.

If one of the suites is misrendering ODF files, that is a bug that the developers will take seriously and probably fix quickly (assuming it has been reported to them). Without a link to bug report or an example document that exhibits the issue it could just be someone spreading FUD.
