Subject: #6.7 Errata comments - typo, grammar, and miscellaneous glitches
Re: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office-comment/200808/msg00059.html My intention here is to report on the remaining 5 comments of mine. I pray that I don't discover any more additional problems. - #6.7a - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ODF 1.0 IS 26300 Section page line page line 9.3.3 300 11 304 5 The instruction is in two parts (not numbered in the Errata): [1] Replace "," with "." at the end of "representation." [2] Insert "is" before "OLE" in the second sentence. Change [2] results in this sentence: An example for this kind of objects is OLE objects (see [OLE]). Recommendation: Replace [2] with [2'] Replace "An example of this kind of objects OLE objects" with "OLE objects are examples of this kind" resulting in OLE objects are examples of this kind (see [OLE]). - #6.7b - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ODF 1.0 IS 26300 Section page line page line 9.3.3 301 1 304 36 *NOTE: The sentence that is to be replaced begins on line 2, not line 1. The instruction is to replace the second sentence of the list item with a replacement that begins For objects that have an XML representation the representation of the object is ... The immediately beginning sentence starts with "For objects that have an XML representation ..." and it establishes the context for the second sentence. Recommendation: In the replacement statement in the instruction, replace "For objects that have an XML representation, the" with "The" The complete resulting list item will then be - For objects that have an XML representation, the link references the sub package of the object. The representation of the object is the equivalent to a separate document representing that object, except that it is stored in a folder in the document package. The xlink references that folder. [This creates more new questions than it answers, but that is for another time.] - #6.7c - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ODF 1.0 IS 26300 Section page line page line 9.5 319 23 334 36 The reference to the same passage in IS 26300 is incorrect. The incorrect 26300 reference is near the first erratum for section 9.5.3. Recommendation: Replace the IS 26300 reference so the erratum is located at 9.5 319 23 323 24 [I have not systematically checked the page references between ODF 1.0 and IS 26300. I caught this one because it was obviously strange. I have this nagging suspicion that I should run through the entire list and verify all of the pairs of citations.] - #6.7d - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ODF 1.0 IS 26300 Section page line page line 15.27.21 651 3 662 39 The instruction is to Replace "left side" with "the right side". However, "the" is already in front of "left side". Recommendation To avoid doubling "the," change the instruction to Replace "left side" with "right side". - #6.7e - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ODF 1.0 IS 26300 Section page line page line 15.31.4 664 19 676 40 The instruction replaces one sizable passage with a larger one. In the replacement, the next-to-last sentence begins "The chart:tick-marks-major-outer attribute specifies marks point in the ... " Recommendation: Change "marks point" to "marks that point" in the replacement fragment quoted above. Alternative: Change "marks point" to "that marks point" if that is more to the point [sorry]. - Dennis -----Original Message----- From: robert_weir@us.ibm.com [mailto:robert_weir@us.ibm.com] Sent: Monday, August 25, 2008 10:24 To: Dennis E.
