Discussion of JIRA issues in Patrick's email:

http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office/201110/msg00040.html

We reviewed: http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/OFFICE-3671

Oliver will investigate OOo capabilities in this area

We reviewed: http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/OFFICE-3508

Rob: Note another approach to this problem, R package:  ODFWeave:  
http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/odfWeave/vignettes/odfWeave.pdf

Steven:  noted: http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/2004/xmlevents-for-html-authors

Steven: also: http://www.w3.org/TR/xml-events
Steven: Replaces the onXXX style of event handling with something more 
general (and extensible)

We reviewed: http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/OFFICE-3507

We reviewed: http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/OFFICE-3475

Rob: OOo and derivatives support flat files via a filter

Svante:  issue with duplicate xml:id  if we map packaged ODF document into 
single flat file (ID collisions)

Svante: We might solve the ID and the arbitrary XML file packaging

Svante: Do not think that XML flat file format requirement is valid any 
longer

Svante: Roundtripping flat to ZIP is very problematic, think of Encryption 
and Signature

Svante: Once it was provided for XSLT filters within OOo

Svante: History shows that XSLT filters had problems with large documents 
(e.g. ODF specification), as BASE64 enlarges the binary files and images 
were parsed by XML parser

Svante: Parsing bianry made no sense: Resulting in time loss and run-time 
problems due to memory problems

Svante: The questions comes down, does it make sense to invest time in 
this problem and creating a complex solution for a feature that is not 
necessary?

Rob: Need a canonical mapping between flat and package, or remove flat 
format support.  Being in between is not good.

Assigned to Jos

Svante: Second: Does it make sense to have a round-trip that looses 
information (e.g. Signature / Encryption)

Patrick: Defined two formats, flat and package but no mapping in between.

Review: http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/OFFICE-3449

Review: http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/OFFICE-3448

Oliver:  these two issues are related to change tracking and should be 
resolved by the ongoing work in this area in ODF 1.3
