Subject: Re: [office-comment] 8.5.4 of ODF 1.0
Patrick, This is not a black-and-white issue. The editors have to rely on their taste, experiences, and so forth. Your concern about inconsistencies and time delay are reasonable. However, when different implementors have different (and somewhat reasonable) interpretations of the standard, the standard is likely to fail. The editors have to consider this difficult balance and make their own decisions. I am an outsider and make comments without considering the difficult balance. You make the call. I may continue to make comments on your decision, but the market will make the final call and tell whether or not your decision is correct. As an editor, I tend to write dense specifications. However, when I read specifications, I do like comprehensive specifications with ample examples. I certainly think that OOXML is more readable than ODF and that translation of OOXML will be easier than that of ODF. Cheers, -- MURATA Makoto (FAMILY Given) <EB2M-MRT@asahi-net.or.jp>
