Just flipping thru it I'm not seeing obvious issues. In terms of being usable for reference I think it's reasonable. The diagrams and tables look intelligible and not garbled. Layout isn't visible screwed-up.
Will it be a 1-to-1 with printed output from 1996? Probably not.
"Converting this document from its original format was a bit of a victory for open source software. And a lesson in how hard document preservation is."
So, opening this document was hard and that it finally worked was not because of Microsoft's alleged famous backwards compatibility- which is a myth in my book.
I doubt it because, as I said, Word did not even render the document the same on two different installations back in the day. Contrary to LaTeX, there is really no way to know what "opens on your computer exactly as expected" even means. We do not know what the original author intended it to look like, because we do not know how the document looked like to them.
As long as there is no retroactive interpretation, like it happened with RGB, for example, the "doubt it" will stand.
