Our previous hints to you for reading the archive was specifically about; http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office/200702/msg00046.html and the rest of the thread. What this email did is try to make clear what the 1.1 release of ODF stated. And as you may see there are quite some little things that are not clear there. Oliver-Rainer proposed in that thread a clarification and we talked about the points and reached a consensus on what the expected behavior is for those cases where the spec is not clear. > So before adding a new attribute I really wanna help you to get clear > understanding what the current ISO standard says.

It is a good point, and the intend is and has always been there. Oliver and me just found out that two applications developers reading the same spec came to different conclusions. So we should clear up the spec to make it say what we intend. > So whatever we decide for ODF1.2. we must also clarify what the ISO > standard ODF1.0 / ODF1.1. actually says, right?

As I stated rather bluntly in my last email (sorry for that outburst) I think you should not start a new interpretation but first join in on the one that oliver and me agreed on. Its not very useful for everyone to just give his view without first trying to understand the already posted views and stating what he agree and does not agree with. In other words; if we don't listen before speaking, we will never agree. So, please. Dig out the linked thread and tell us what you agree to and what you don't. And state where we should change our minds with proper arguments. Thanks! -- Thomas Zander
