Subject: [OASIS Issue Tracker] Issue Comment Edited: (OFFICE-3403) 9.1.13 -Need clarification about the behavior of the table:title element



    [ http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/OFFICE-3403?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=21981#action_21981 ] 

Michael Brauer edited comment on OFFICE-3403 at 10/7/10 7:35 AM:
-----------------------------------------------------------------

The limitation indeed looks strange, but it has a reason. The <draw:frame> element has its own title and description elements (<svg:title> and <svg:desc>). That's reasonable, because the child elements specify alternative representations of the same content. Since the same content has the same titles and descriptions, it makes sense to specify these only once (in the <draw:frame> element) rather than having a title and description for every child element. Consequently, <draw:image> or <draw:text-box>, which are only permitted inside <draw:frame>, don't have title and descriptions of their own.

But <table:table> is different. It is allowed within <draw:frame> for the "table in presentations" feature we added to ODF 1.2. Here, a separate title and description is not needed, since that of <draw:frame> do apply. But <table:table> can also be used in other contexts, for instance as part of a text flow. And here, the <table:table> element requires its own titles and descriptions.

So, for the <draw:frame> case, the schema allows two places to specify titles and descriptions. The limitation has been added to avoid ambiguities in this case.
