As a highlight it is to mention that the binfilter cws has been integrated. This means that the code of the old binary filters has been moved into separate libraries and thus the size of the installation set increased. At this moment the code for the binary filters is still contained in the regulat modules, but not used any longer for import and export of the old binary formats. Work to remove this unused code will start soon so that the path to extend the row limit in calc and the removal of old code is free.| Feature title | Spec. title | Spec. abstract | Spec. link | Component |

XML Filter Configuration | The expert user should be able to install XSLT-based input/output filters for StarOffice/OpenOffice.org. The average user should be able to use them seamlessly.
