Subject: [OASIS Issue Tracker] Commented: (OFFICE-1683) Editor Note: Section17.359 number:possessive-form



    [ http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/OFFICE-1683?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12875#action_12875 ] 

Patrick Durusau commented on OFFICE-1683:
-----------------------------------------

I have no objection to your revision but is there general agreement on the meaning of the text?

Suggest:

The number:possessive-form attribute specifies whether the month is displayed as a noun (e.g., as in "17 marca 2004") or using the possessive form (e.g., as in "17 marzec 2004"). 

The defined values for the number:possessive-form attribute are:

true: the name of the month is displayed in possessive form.

false: the name of the month is displayed in nominative form. 

This attribute is only applied when a <number:month> attribute also has a number:textual attribute with the value of "true." 

*****
Does that capture it?

I did a really crude test with a date field and while I get a "3rd quarter" result, it doesn't involve number:possessive-form. (Sorry, just wanted to check.)

If no one objects, I am going to incorporate my suggestion by next Monday. It will still require TC approval but I am interested to know if there are any problems with my proposed reformulation.
