Subject: Re: [office] Re: [office-metadata] Suggested Changes on the Metadata proposal
I have to ask you; how do you think history will unfold if you make this
part mandatory?
If you think that suddenly everyone will do it right then you are in for a
surprise. The world doesn't work like that.
I can point to issues where OOo is not ODF compliant, and just not
altering their behavior since it makes sense for them. How does that
change when you mark something mandatory?
Note the reason I mentioned the testsuite;
http://testsuite.opendocumentfellowship.org the reason is that this is
an excellent tool to tell the world how good or how bad an implementation
is. We already talked about having an extra metric that specifies how
well data is retained between load and save. Its unfortunately not done
due to lack of manpower.
A second question for you; do you have doubts that the market can make
sure ODF compliance becomes a consideration for people choosing their
tools?
