That's intended; you should see the xcu files as an implementation 
detail that shouldn't be accessed at runtime.

This isn't a good idea.

You could register a StatusListener for ".uno:OnlineAutoFormat" (IIRC). 
But this means that you have to do that at every frame.

It should be possible to register a ConfigurationUpdateListener for the 
corresponding key in the xcu file, but it's possible that it doesn't 
work either because Writer caches this setting internally. That would be 
a bug, but I assume that this doesn't make it better. I'm afraid you 
have to find that out.
