Re: [office] UK Comment 2

[Michael Brauer <Michael.Brauer@Sun.COM>]

Patrick, all

thanks for assembling the list. I have integrated the suggested changes 
into a new specification draft that I will send to the TC's mailing list 
later this day.

Since the OpenDocument specification usually only uses section numbers 
as references, but no section titles, I'm doing the same for the new 
references. The resulting changes to the spcification are below.

I would like to ask all TC members to review the changes for accuracy, 
but also whether you agree that they are editorial changes only. Please 
let Patrick and me know as soon as possible if you disagree to a certain 
change.

If it is acceptable for you, I would like to ask the TC to agree on the 
changes and on the modified specification as a new committee draft on 
Monday.

Best regards

Michael

"table sample 1". However, the "Sample 1" is refering to the text that 
follows rather than two the table. Since the introduction to the table
