Subject: Proposals for attributes that take angle values
Dear TC members, please find at http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/office/download.php/27585/08-03-14-angle-attribute-values.odt a list of proposals that, as already discussed, add angle unit identifiers to attribute values that specify angles. The documents lists all attributes that specify an angle, even if no change is required. That is, the document contains a complete list of attributes that define angle values (unless I have overseen one). Where the ODF specification did already specify the unit of an angle, this is degrees. Sections 9.5.5.6 and 9.5.8.5 mention "grad", but this seems to be a wrong translation of the German term "grad", which is the English "degrees". In SVG's angle data type[1], the angle unit identifier is optional and the default is degrees. I suggest that we take over that behavior. It matches well to our current definitions of angle values, and allows backward compatibility with ODF1.1 documents. SVG does not allow angle unit identifiers in its path and transform attributes. I suggest that we take over that, too.
