I agree with most of your premises except #1. For the most part, I found thast Star Office is able to import most MS Word documents. However, there is always the maverick document that does escape the conversion.
Alas, too many Word documents are mavericks because its internal workings are so buggy and mysterious (e.g., the strange things it sometimes does with numbered lists when you try to modify them). But the bigger problem is export. My impression is that StarOffice does export of Word documents badly or not at all, and that's an issue when you're exchanging works in progress with someone else.
