OpenDocument manifest

["Laimutis Ignatavicius" <Laimutis.Ignatavicius@sintagma.lt>]

Hello,

Some misunderstanding can be found in
section "2.2 Manifest" of OpenDocument v1.2 Part 3 (Packages)
Draft 7.

“It contains information about the
sub document contained in the package.”

According to definitions in section
2.1, the package is called document, content of which is made of
sub documents. 
The manifest file contains information
about the document or sub documents (plural) of the package.


“The main pieces of information stored
in the manifest are as follows:
- A list of all of the sub documents
in the package.”

Sub documents are sub files which are
contained in a Zip file and which are not defined by the OpenDocument Package
specification. 
In section 2.7 (Preview Image) there
are sentences: “The thumbnail shall be saved as “thumbnail.png” in a
separate folder named “Thumbnails”. <..> The “Thumbnails” folder
shall not get a media type in the manifest.xml file, since it is not actually
part of the document.”
There we can find that the package can
contain folders, and all of them (or at least “Thumbnails” folder) must
be listed in the manifest file.

Another question is: shall “thumbnail.png”
file get a media type in the manifest.xml file or not, too?
