When will the formal spec be ready? I think it is obvious that the TC can only consider to use/include CSL in ODF if there is a formal spec in the style of the ODF specification itself that the TC can review. Do you think this formal spec is something that you can prepare in the ODF 1.2 timeline, or more within the timeline of a later version. > >> And is it going to be standardized? > > I'm certainly open to that. > > As you might guess, it'd take a little time for this to happen. Sure. So an option we have is to switch to CSL when it has been standardized, and to stay with current solution until when, maybe adding the one or two mostly wanted features to it. Do you have any idea where you would like to standardize CSL? > > Bruce > Michael -- Michael Brauer, Technical Architect Software Engineering StarOffice/OpenOffice.org Sun Microsystems GmbH Nagelsweg 55 D-20097 Hamburg, Germany michael.brauer@sun.com http://sun.com/staroffice +49 40 23646 500 http://blogs.sun.com/GullFOSS
