Wonderfull. Thanks a lot for taking care of this.

I second this, please commit and then it may be really time for 0.14!


I have one remaining question:

I understand, that LO/OO expects both, language and region tag of a document
to be set. 
I also understand that auto-filling the region tag is tricky.

What happens exactly, if in an rst2odt-exported document the language tag is
set but the region tag is missing:

a) an error/warning
b) the region is set to "US"
c) the region is set according to the users locale?

What should Docutils do in these cases?

Ther problem here is, that according to our specs, the default for
"language-code" is

  Default: English ("en").  Options: ``--language, -l``.

Unless absolutely required otherwise, I suggest passing just "en".

If this is not possible, the odt writer could use a different default
(this needs to be documented).

Rationale: not only Mexican and Castillean Spaniards disagree about the
default region tag for a language, narrowing "en" to American English 
must at least be documented.

But this may also be sorted out later.


Thanks again,
