Perhaps the following could work:

- write draw:extrusion-specularity with a clamped value (as required by
  the current ODF spec)

- write loext:draw:extrusion-specularity with the value as-is

- read both attributes, but prefer the loext one if both are available

Would that work?

Regarding how to prefer loext over draw on reading, page properties have
such post-processing logic in
xmloff/source/style/PageMasterImportPropMapper.cxx, I would hope that
something similar exist for shape properties as well.
