Subject: Re: [office-comment] Requirement


Dear Rick,
Dear ODF TC,

I strongly support to extend ODF with features derived from web-technologies.

ODF is currently not on-par with these technologies.

See also some of my previous OOo feature requests:
[which are well also ODF-limitations]
http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=79882
http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=66169
http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=79866

Please be aware, this is not purely an OOo limitation, but includes also
severe ODF-limitations and major shortcomings in presentation design concepts.

Also, the limitations I am talking about are not limited to the few
examples I have provided. Rather, these are only some minor issues,
and there are many more missing features.


Sincerely,

Leonard

> 
> The dominant technology for publishing is HTML and CSS.  An ODF
> application user needs to
> be able to generate high quality HTML and to be able to import HTML pages
> and round-trip
> them without loss.
> 
> Therefore, ODF needs to support round-tripping of all HTML and CSS
> features, to some level.
> 
> 
> +DESCRIPTION
> 
> ODF should be audited against both HTML 5 (or the most recent version) and
> CSS2 (to pick
> a reasonable base that would not burden developers), with the purpose of
> identifying any
> features that cannot be round-tripped with minimal information loss. (I.e.
> so that the
> HTML/CSS in resembles the HTML/CSS produced.)  
> 
> This is not an application issue, it is an issue of ODF having the
> necessary slots for the
> information.
> 
> Once identified, ODF should have markup added to allow all these features
> to be
> round-tripped. If recourse is made to some generic mechanism, then an
> annex to 
> ODF should state the method of using these, so that developers do things
> in the same
> way (i.e. so that if a document goes  HTML -> Tool 1 -> ODF -> Tool 2 ->
> HTML then the 
> beginning and ending HTML have highly equivalent markup, and no
> information loss.
> 
> Here are two examples:
> 
> 1) CSS2 provides aural stylesheet properties.* I could find no equivalent
> in the ODF 1.2 
> draft, yet they are clearly a useful accessibility feature. 
> 
> 2) CSS2 provides a generated content features.** I could find no
> equivalent in the ODF 1.2
> (though I am not certain it is not there under some name I did not search
> for.)
