style:text-rotation-angle should not be restricted
--------------------------------------------------

                 Key: OFFICE-3513
                 URL: http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/OFFICE-3513
             Project: OASIS Open Document Format for Office Applications (OpenDocument) TC
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Text
    Affects Versions: ODF 1.2 CD 05
            Reporter: Andreas Guelzow 
            Assignee: Andreas Guelzow 
             Fix For: ODF 1.2 CD 06


In ODF 1.0/1.1 style:text-rotation-angle had as possible attribute value any integer angle. When the angle was read it was supposed to be "rounded" to 0, 90 or 270 degrees.

The current ODF 1.2 draft restricts the possible values of style:text-rotation-angle to 0, 90, 270 (see also OFFICE-3407).

Many programs allow text to be rotated an arbitrary amount (for example for tick labels, cell content, etc.). Sometimes this can be handled using style:rotation-angle, for example if the whole content of a cell is to be rotated, but this does not work if for example lines of text in a cell are rotated around different axes of rotation.

I would like to propose to allow arbitrary angles and arbitrary integers (to be interpreted as degrees)  as values for this attribute.
