Subject: Re: [office] Suggestion from the ISO meeting in Seattle
Patrick, I don't think we can mark something as "implementation-defined" in Approved Errata, since that would be adding a new requirement (a requirement for the implementation to specify its behavior) on existing implementations, something we are not permitted to do under OASIS rules. However, "implementation-dependent" would be fine. Of course, in ODF 1.2 we are free to say "implementation-defined" if we want. -Rob Patrick Durusau <patrick@durusau.net> wrote on 09/24/2009 07:49:17 AM: > > Greetings! > > During the ISO discussions in Seattle last week the following suggestion > was made for cases where the standard does not or cannot define precise > behavior. > > > From ISO 9075-1:2008 SQL/Framework: > > > > * * > > > > *7.2 Implementation-defined elements* > > > > Every part of ISO/IEC 9075 contains an Annex that lists every element > > of SQL and its processing that is specified > > > > in that part, and is permitted to differ between SQL-implementations, > > but is required to be specified by > > > > the implementor for each particular SQL-implementation. > > > > * * > > > > *7.3 Implementation-dependent elements* > > > > Every part of ISO/IEC 9075 contains an Annex that lists every element > > of SQL and its processing that is mentioned, > > > > but not specified in that part, and is thus permitted to differ > > between SQL-implementations, but is not > > > > required to be specified by the implementor for any particular > > SQL-implementation. > This came up in the context of discussions about corrections to ISO > 26300.
