Specification document Clarifications
-------------------------------------
The TC discussed some details of the specification document that need a 
clarification by the TC:

The TC unanimously agreed to move the protection-key for change tracking 
information in spreadsheet documents to the document specific settings, 
as it was already agreed for the protection key of text document change 
tracking information, but to leave the protection-keys for text sections 
at the section elements.

The TC further agreed that all attribute values that contain formulas 
should start with a namespace prefix. This was already agreed for 
attributes that contain conditions.

The TC further agreed that the <change-info> element should use the same 
elements for meta information as the <office:meta> element. This has 
been discussed some time ago, but was not formally agreed. The same 
applies to merge-last-para attribute, where the TC agreed to remove it.

New Action Items
----------------
none
