Andreas Guelzow  commented on OFFICE-3462:
------------------------------------------

I think any description should be very generic since a value-range ahs many different possible incarnations. In Gnumeric for example it could be any of: spinbutton, slider, scrollbar. 

Spinbutton: only form:step-size is used. It indicates the change to the value when the user clicks on a spin button button.
Slider: only form:page-step-size is used. It indicates the change to the value when the user clicks on the slider bar (not on the slider handle)
Scrollbar: both are used. form:step-size indicates the change to the value when the user clicks on a scroll bar arrow. form:page-step-size indicates the change to the value when the user clicks on the scroll bar bar  (not on the scroll bar slider).

So a description should surely be along the line of:

The value of the form:step-size attribute gives the preferred minor value change offered through the ui (if applicable for the control used).
The value of the form:page-step-size attribute gives the preferred major value change offered through the ui (if applicable for the control used).

> The form:page-step-size and form:step-size attributes are not defined well enough to understand their function.  
> These appear to be involved with regard to stepping through values as part of UI activity in which the value is chosen.   The analogy of form:page-step-size with "page down" functionality means something different depending on whether there is a drop-down of values offered versus whether the value in a spinner is being adjusted.  
> Since these attributes are only used for <form:value-range>, maybe they need to be descibed better in terms of what their (optional) functionality is for such a control.  I have no objection to change to double, but we also need to know what these are provided for and whether they are intended as constraints or simply aids for assisting users in selecting/entering a value.
