Subject: [Fwd: Re: [pr] Help for a marketing and technical message]


FYI. I hinted some elements of answers, but would like to get your
opinion on this.

Best Regards,

Sophie,

sorry for the delay, I'm just back from Hamburg. I'll forward this to
the ODF TC asap. I guess that -that's a first hint- this is an
inaccurate way of describing how things work but however much of it may
be true. It's just that MS manipulated accurate information.

For instance, there are in any standard a set of  normative and
non-normative (facultative) elements. While you must follow accurately
the normative elements, the other parts of the standard are left to your
own vision of how things should be implemented. So it may well be that
these figures are accurate (and yet, I don't fully think so) but they
have been misrepresented in a way to make OOo look like a poor
implementation of ODF because sometimes OOo does not fully implement the
ODF standard, as surprizing as it seems. It's just a choice made for any
application.

What would be of course interesting, is to see how well MS Office
implements the Ecma376...
Can you call me? I'm in Paris now and available...

Thanks,

Charles.
