This is probably the best workable solution if the projects were to merge somehow as it preserves the attempted marketing niche of each "name".

I haven't followed this in a long time but I thought Sun/Oracle management of OpenOffice was crux of the problem? I've probably been out of the loop for too long.

That was the problem before it became an Apache project. It should not be a problem anymore.

Some AOO developers appear to have a superiority complex. It is visible in the discussion.

There are people on both sides that suffer from that condition. It does nothing to improve or further the discussion.
