Subject: RE: [office] Comments on draft response


It might help to list the specific attributes of the first errata that you 
feel are missing and desired in the 2nd errata document.

For example, we're missing an OASIS cover sheet.  This is essential, IMHO, 
and something that needs to be addressed before we can move this toward a 
public review. 

We're also missing the line numbers, but I think that is an improvement.

Also, the layout and design of the document is different.  This may cause 
slight difficulties to a user of the specification who needs to consult 
both Errata 01 and Errata 02, and needs to switch between different 
layouts of what is essentially the same information.  On the other hand, I 
don't think we should be tied to the format of Errata 01 if we think the 
new style is more workable.  But I think we should pick a style and stick 
to it going forward.
