Multiple object renditions proposal

["Philip Boutros" <Philip.Boutros@stellent.com>]

Hi 

The current specification mixes the definition of a frame and its
attributes (position, size, border, etc.) and the definition of it's
contents. I believe the correct way to modify the specification is to
add an explicit office:frame (or draw:frame) element and move all the
"frame" attributes up to it. It's contents then become 1..n of the
existing "frame" elements
(text-box,image,applet,plugin,object,object-ole) minus all the frame
attributes. The order of these elements under the office:frame element
dictates the applications preference for use with the first child being
the most preferred.

So for example, this... 

<text:p text:style-name="Standard">
      <draw:object-ole draw:style-name="fr1" draw:name="Object1"
      text:anchor-type="paragraph" svg:width="3.757cm"
      svg:height="5.821cm" draw:z-index="0"
      xlink:href="#./Obj0012F5F5" xlink:type="simple"
      xlink:show="embed" xlink:actuate="onLoad"/>
</text:p>

...would become this...

<text:p text:style-name="Standard">
	<draw:frame draw:style-name="fr1" draw:name="Object1"
      text:anchor-type="paragraph" svg:width="3.757cm"
      svg:height="5.821cm" draw:z-index="0">
		<draw:object-ole xlink:href="#./Obj0012F5F5"
xlink:type="simple"
            xlink:show="embed" xlink:actuate="onLoad"/>
	</draw:frame>
</text:p>

...but could be this...

<text:p text:style-name="Standard">
	<draw:frame draw:style-name="fr1" draw:name="Object1"
      text:anchor-type="paragraph" svg:width="3.757cm"
      svg:height="5.821cm" draw:z-index="0">
		<draw:object-ole xlink:href="#./Obj0012F5F5"
xlink:type="simple"
            xlink:show="embed" xlink:actuate="onLoad"/>
            <draw:image xlink:href="#Pictures/alternate.gif"
xlink:type="simple"
            xlink:show="embed" xlink:actuate="onLoad"/>
	</draw:frame>
</text:p>

...where the object-ole would be the applications first choice with the
image acting as a alternative.

Notice this not only allows OLE objects to have multiple renditions (the
primary use case) but other things like plug-ins, applets, etc. to have
them. This seems a simple and flexible change to me.
