* ODF 1.2 Proposals

Approved: http://wiki.oasis-open.org/office/Table-Protected

The TC discussed the list notes from Dennis and Bob, discussing the 
possibility that this table protection feature may incorrectly create an 
expectation that it is a security feature.  This is unrelated to the 
proposal submitted by Michael.   Additional clarifying language may be 
considered for ODF 1.2, perhaps looking at the language adopted at the 
OOXML BRM for the analogous feature in OOXML.

in proper format added.  A vote on this proposal will occur at next week's 
meeting.

MingFei presented his proposal.  David Faure asked about the relationship 
between this and outline styles.  There may need to be an additional 
clarification made in the specification to address this question.  A vote 
on MingFei's proposal will occur at the next TC call.

* Other discussion

- David Faure brought up an outstanding question with regards to gradient 
direction and SVG.  He will post the details to the list.

- Michael and Rob briefly discussed the schedule for completing ODF 1.2 
The TC may approve one or more Committee Drafts, followed by a public 
review period leading to a Committee Specification.  Since public reviews 
take 60-days, and the TC cannot change the specification during the 
review, we may want to send the three formal parts of ODF to review 
separately.  For example, the core specification could be under public 
review while we simultaneously complete the editing of OpenFormula.  In 
this way we can optimize our productivity.
