These are three planes of data in an ODF document. If we defined a macro language we might even talk about a 4th plane, of behavior. In any case, I agree this metadata should be considered in this work. But I'm indifferent to whether we want to get to that level of detail in the charter. > Just so they can tend to that while working on pure change tracking sort > of issues? > > And that might attract people interested in the annotation side of > document work as well. > Maybe I'm missing something. Are you talking about change tracking of documents where the change happens to be or include a change in metadata? Or are you talking about a different scenario involving annotations? -Rob > Don't want it to get too broad but thought that might be a useful > addition. > > Hope you are having a great day! > > Patrick > > On Thu, 2010-11-04 at 12:24 -0400, robert_weir@us.ibm.com wrote: > > For discussion on the list.
