* Minutes from 2008-01-14 coordination call:
http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office/200801/msg00012.html

The attending TC members unanimously accepted the minutes.

* Action Items
- (Not completed) Work continues on defining the default values.  Ma Yue 
is working on collecting values from Lotus Symphony. Michael Brauer will 
post an updated OpenOffice.org default value set.

- (Not completed) Oliver is working on text field proposal and hopes to 
have something we can vote on next week.

- (Not Completed): Michael: Proposal for unique automatic style names


* Proposals, as listed at
http://wiki.oasis-open.org/office/OpenDocument_v1.2_Action_Items#head-d117ebdb1531adf3aa1dbb5fb619a2298f88ac0e

- citation field and data templating:
These two proposals are covered by the Metadata proposal already and can 
be removed from the list.

- Points are integers in ODF, but floating-point in SVG:
The ODF schema currently allows only integer values, while SVG allows 
floats. The point data type currently is described by a regular 
expression. Extending the regular to support floats would result in very 
long and unreadable expressions. The question (and open action item) is 
to find an alternative way to describe the data type, for instance an 
EBNF grammar. This may apply to other data types as well. This action 
item shall be divided into two, one for the specific points data type, 
and one for the more general question how to avoid unreadable regular 
expressions.

- Defaults values: ongoing (see action items)

- text input field: ongoing (see action items)

- Transition Duration: discussions are ongoing

- source tables for charts:
The OOo team volunteers to prepare a proposal for this that Michael will 
forward to the TC.

- renaming of draw:stroke-linecap:
This proposal was unanimously accepted by the TC

- Chart legend orientations: discussions are ongoing

- Automatic style naming: ongoing (see action items).
