I've seen scripts doing at lot of things with the marked data ;-) Not really sure what your point is... There was a thread that we were involved in awhile back in which I was simply asking us to define the function and semantics of fields, and I'm just asking that we do that. > > I'm just unclear on what the distinction is between this field you are proposing and text:meta-field. > > Hmm --- I see a clear difference between an RDF-based framework for metadata and "special" bookmarks. I guess when developing apps like Zotero developers will choose the RDF-based metadata framework. On the other hand when migrating OOXML and scripts to ODF they will use field-marks. OK, fine, but I'm just asking you to explain the "clear difference" you note above. If it's clear, then surely you can say more about than that it's a compatibility mechanism for OOXML? > > So how would we -- or third-party devs -- know which one to use for which cases? > I think that the whole metadata framework speaks for itself and developers will use it when we make it powerfull and easy to use. > The main purpose of the field-mark is to get rid of the bookmark/WW-field mess we have out there... +1, and no argument here.
