It is, but a lot is really simple. I fixed about fifteen issues over the 
weekend and there is a lot of easy stuff left.


Calligra uses ODF as its main file format and supports the standardization 
effort, so we should make a good effort at actually producing valid ODF. But 
validation pedantism is not the main reason for fixing these issues.

Most issues are in the filters. There data is written out wrong, with the 
effect that the resulting ODF has information that is missed by Calligra and 
results in wrong rendering.
