For the record.. initial thought.. ODT/ODS Revision (extended/not extended) etc.. not DOCX/DOC stuff
Once loaded the document has no file format anymore. And I suppose users know what file they have loaded. Neither I see a use case here that we solve with this information. => WF
Disagree with WF. The current file format is kept in the filter data, which is used later to default save. And the practical use would be knowing the actual format when a file has a misleading extension: e.g., a CSV named like XLS, or a TXT named like DOC, when it would be opened in corresponding component, but when formatted and saved, suddenly all formatting would be gone. How would user realize what happened, without inspecting the file format in a plain text/hex editor then?
Okay, then let's add it to the first tab General of the properties dialog. No sure what information the filter holds.

I was more thing off all the 'different' ODS formats.. 1.1/ 1.2 (extended)/ 1.3 (and the backwards comp-ability).. but no objection to the vision above
+1 for this enhancement request. The file format version should be shown in the General tab of the file properties dialog. For example, for ODF files it should show the value of <office:document-meta office:version="1.2"> in the meta.xml.

Very odd that this hasn't been implemented from the beginning. Let's hope this functionality is added.
