Dis-regarding Org-mode, is like dis-regarding elephant in the room.

The proposed word-processing mode MAY or MUST save to or import from
Org-mode format.  (Org-mode is indeed a storage format)

LibreOffice has a configuration option whereby one can configure the
default format for saving.

In an Ideal World, I should be able to edit in Word-processing mode but
save it in Org-mode.  What this means that "Text markup" like *, / etc
and directives like "#+BEGIN_" etc are implicitly specified (and hence
hidden from the user) and honored on read-in and write-out.
