Subject: Table Protected Proposal - Edge Case Questions #2
In examining the other parts of the Table Protected Proposal I notice another kind of Edge Case that may be important. QUESTION #1: The proposal provides a schema fragment. It does not state whether this schema fragment is in addition to the fragment for <table:table-cell> table:protect or is to be introduced in place of that one. This needs to be clear. I tend to think of deprecation as a warning that there will be future removal, not the actual removal. (My example of this is the Java API where many features have been deprecated over time.) If the table:protect is deprecated *and* removed in 1.2, I think it should be said that clearly. QUESTION #2: The answers to question #1 impact what can be said about backwards compatibility. I missed any discussion of whether it is the schema or the text that was normative in earlier versions of ODF. I assume backward compatibility has two components: (1) the impact of accepting an earlier ODF version document in and ODF 1.2 processor as if it is ODF 1.2 and (2) the impact on a previous-ODF-version processor's acceptance of an ODF 1.2 document by ignoring features that it does not understand. It seems to me that however we look at it, there is a (potential) breaking change between this ODF 1.2 feature and processors of earlier versions of ODF. Where should that be addressed? - Dennis -----Original Message----- From: Dennis E.
