I must be misunderstanding something.
Usually anything is a reportable bug. Users report all sort of things,
and then there's some evaluation and priorisation process to decide
which bugs are fixed.
I think I can report a bug to OpenOffice.org saying it doesn't toast my toasts
on the right side, so that's a reportable bug as much as ODF non-compliance.
Hopefully what happens to each of those bugs is what makes the difference,
but saying something is a reportable bug is quite a low offer. Ok, so
defective toast toasting is not "officially regarded" as reportable,
and ODF non-compliance is. Good. But then it still gives no warranty
of conformance.
I don't mean to criticise OOo. I just think it's better to say they
have ODF conformance as a high priority goal (hopefully true) than to
say non-conformance is officially a reportable bug.
