The special handling of Controls layer is not confirm to ODF1.2

Created attachment 84621 [details] File which uses draw:z-index attribute Apache OpenOffice views objects on the Controls layer always in front of all other objects. But there exist no such special property of a layer in ODF1.2. In contrast ODF1.2 says in 10.2.2 <draw:layer-set> in part 1, "Layers group drawing objects. Assigning a shape to a layer does not change its rendering order as defined by its draw:z-index attribute. 19.231" So if the rendering order is given by draw:z-index attributes, Apache OpenOffice should not overrule it. The problem occurs if a foreign document uses the draw:z-index attribute. AOO itself does not use it, but writes the objects to file in the desired rendering order.
