I see a WYSIWYG word processor like a painting program. When I create a
painting with gimp, I expect it to look the same when I open it with
photoshop. Of course there might be tiny difference like photoshop might
use another JPG decoder and so maybe some pixels have a bit of a
difference. If i would not want this i should use another picture
format. The same with word processors, there might be some tiny
differences in how the font is rendered, but not like now that one page
fits about 5 lines less (that are than move to the next page).
An office document is not a bitmap and the WYSIWYG part has always been
more a best effort thing than a hard commitment.
An office document is a set of construction rules. This is why you have
individual hight-level components (characters) you can change later. Try
that with a jpg where pixels are frozen and shapes are not shapes you
can manipulate but collections of pixels.
