Andreas Guelzow  commented on OFFICE-3695:
------------------------------------------

As indicated in my comment of 21/Jun/11 the resolution is proposal #2. 

And yes, the change in the schema the appropriate insertion of:

<attribute name="number:max-denominator-value">
<ref name="positiveInteger"/>
</attribute>
</optional> 

How would you like this marked?

> In ODF 1.2 the <number:fraction> element has the attribute number:denominator-
> value. If this attribute is not present, a denominator that is appropriate for
> displaying the number is used. Clearly what is considered appropriate will be implementation dependent/defined. For example LibreOffice considers the appropriate denominator for of:=PI() to be 7 although a denominator of 113 would create a much closer approximation. From a user perspective if formatting a number as a fraction usually the size of the denominator is important even if the exact chosen denominator does not matter. Some implementations, for example Gnumeric, permit the user to determine a maximum number of digits to be used in the choice of the denominator. Currently Gnumeric stores that information in a foreign element: gnm:max-denominator-digits. In the interest of interoperability it would be desirable to include a similar attribute in the ODF1.3 standard.
