My questions were (copied from below - I hope you can read them now and 
you are now able to answer them):

- Do you still want to have the proposed feature in ODF?

- Do you still want to continue this proposal in order to get the 
proposed feature fulfilled in ODF?

I do NOT want you to withdraw your proposal.
(Can you please read my messages more carefully with a little more 
concentration? Thanks.)

I had asked you in case you do not want to continue your proposal in 
order to get the proposed feature fulfilled in ODF to withdraw your 
proposal, but formally contribute it to OASIS. Thus, in this case I can 
use it as a starting point for my own proposal - see below.
That is all - I only made a suggestion in case you do not want to 
continue your proposal. I had expected a comment from your side on my 
suggestion in case you do not want to continue your proposal - perhaps I 
am expecting too much from you.
