Subject: Re: [office] OpenDocument v1.2 draft 5
Hi all, we made incompatible changes to the numbering anyway. So I see no reason why we can't change it. ~Florian >>> Michael Brauer <Michael.Brauer@Sun.COM> 08/23/07 4:48 PM >>> Hi Dave, I also assume that the name of the attribute has been chosen because of the similarities of a heading having this attribute set to "true" to a list header. This may have been a good idea, or not. However, simply changing the name would have the impact that this feature would not be understood by ODF 1.1 applications any more, and that the ODF 1.2 specification would not define what the meaning of this attribute is for ODF 1.1 documents. So if we change the name, we may want to introduce a new attribute actually, and may want to deprecate the old one, both having the same semantic. This does not solve the backward compatibility issue, but it at least makes sure that an ODF 1.2 application still understands 1.1 files. However, before we discuss whether we want to take into account the above implications for having a different, maybe in fact better, attribute name, I think it would be reasonable to know what the new name would be. Do you (or someone else) has a suggestion for this?
