Subject: [OASIS Issue Tracker] Commented: (OFFICE-2922) 5.4 text:section -5.4.1 General - consumers "understand"?
[ http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/OFFICE-2922?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=20692#action_20692 ] Patrick Durusau commented on OFFICE-2922: ----------------------------------------- Michael, The distinction is a subtle one but "may" is permission, doesn't require some action but it is permitted and "can" is a question of capability. The term "can" I suspect is more often found in standards for physical quantities, a standard container X "can" hold Y liters of fluid, that sort of thing. > 5.4 text:section - 5.4.1 General - consumers "understand"? > ---------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: OFFICE-2922 > URL: http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/OFFICE-2922 > Project: OASIS Open Document Format for Office Applications (OpenDocument) TC > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Text > Affects Versions: ODF 1.2 CD 05 > Reporter: Patrick Durusau > Assignee: Patrick Durusau > Priority: Minor > Fix For: ODF 1.2 CD 06 > > > Now reads: > "A section that links to external content contains a full representation of the data, so that consumers need to understand the linking information only if they wish to update the contents of the section." > Two questions: > 1) Should the first clause say "A section that links to external content shall/should/may/can contain a full representation of the external content that appears in the section." > ??? > 2) Should the second clause read (as a separate sentence): "Consumers may/can process links to external content to update the external content that appears in a section." > ??? > Noting that neither consumers nor producers "understand" anything. They apply rules we define. Understanding is not required. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
