Subject: Re: [office] Rules for handling parsing errors (was: proposal for ODF1.2: extension of verticalrelationvaluesfor certain anchor types)
Hi Florian, I haven't set up the agenda for the next call, but we have already a lot of topics on the agenda. Some of them are waiting for a discussion for a long time already, and you have requested the discussion of several proposals, too. We won't have the time to discuss all of these things in the next call. I will keep this in the loop of agenda items, but ask for your understanding if this will have to be scheduled for a later call. One more remark below.

User agents must ignore a declaration with an illegal value.</quote> If my understanding of Oliver's proposal is correct, then all values are valid values. It is only the combination of particular attributes and their values that was not permitted. So, stating that user agents must ignore a declaration with an illegal value won't help in this case. -- Michael Brauer, Technical Architect Software Engineering StarOffice/OpenOffice.org Sun Microsystems GmbH Nagelsweg 55 D-20097 Hamburg, Germany michael.brauer@sun.com http://sun.com/staroffice +49 40 23646 500 http://blogs.sun.com/GullFOSS Sitz der Gesellschaft: Sun Microsystems GmbH, Sonnenallee 1, D-85551 Kirchheim-Heimstetten Amtsgericht Muenchen: HRB 161028 Geschaeftsfuehrer: Thomas Schroeder, Wolfgang Engels, Dr. Roland Boemer Vorsitzender des Aufsichtsrates: Martin Haering
