Robert Weir  commented on OFFICE-3353:
--------------------------------------

I think we need to keep the Application Note as the reference.  Since we are making a normative reference to a non-ISO standard we'll need to accompany the submission of ODF 1.2 with something called an Referencing Explanatory Report when we send this to ISO.  As part of that we essentially need sign off from the owner of the source specification.  I think that will be easier to get from PKWARE than from the unknown InfoZIP maintainers.   In fact,  I've already talked to PKWARE about this.
