--- Comment #1 from orcmid <or...@apache.org> ---
Technically, isn't the ODF procedure for a multi-image list is that the
recipient of the file should use the first form that it supports?  It is up to
the producer to determine the quality order, perhaps based on knowledge of the
image and its nature.

I also note that in ODF 1.2 Part 1 section 1.4.1, the first paragraph and the
third paragraph are a bit contradictory, in that the consumer has an
unqualified choice in the matter (1st paragraph) but "should" choose the first
one in the list that it supports (3rd paragraph).

It appears that Apache OpenOffice *is* attempting to use the svg+xml version
inside the .odt package at
Pictures/1000CE3E00002D7800002A30EBA6D4CCCA564288.svg and failing.

If I extract that component into a separate file of that name, it opens just
fine in Apache OpenOffice Draw (and also in Microsoft Edge).  It does not
render properly in LibreOffice 5.0.0 Draw, however.  

It appears that 

 1. There is a defect in Apache OpenOffice processing of the SVG file when it
appears internal to the .odt package.

 2. There seem to be interoperability issues in the creation and handling of
SVG images between Apache OpenOffice and LibreOffice that should probably be
coordinated better when the respective projects maintain and enhance their
support for formats where interoperability among ODF supporting applications
matters.  

PS: The .odt opens in Microsoft Word 2016, but the drawing does not appear at
all.  

PPS: Another curiosity.  If the original .odt file is opened in LibreOffice
5.0.0 Writer, the drawing appears and use of Zoom confirms that it is the
graphic and not the PNG that is being used.  However, if the document is
resaved under a new name using that LibreOffice version, the new package has
the .svg graphic extension changed to .svm and the manifest has
manifest:media-type="".  It would be very useful for AOO to fix (1) and for the
community of ODF-supporting projects to work on (2).
