[OASIS Issue Tracker] Commented: (OFFICE-2205) ZIP reference [N1309]

[OASIS Issues Tracker <workgroup_mailer@lists.oasis-open.org>]

    [ http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/OFFICE-2205?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17399#action_17399 ] 

Michael Brauer commented on OFFICE-2205:
----------------------------------------

I agree to the comment that Rob made in OFFICE-2150: Even if the URI is not accessible any longer, the reference remains valid and unambiguous. But replacing the URI with the the one proposed by Rob is fine for me.

We should not use the ZIP reference we are using in ODF 1.2, because this is a newer version, which added encryption. In ODF 1.2 we explicitly disallow the use of that feature in the conformance clauses. We would have to do the same for ODF 1.0, what is a far larger change than replacing the URI.
