The question facing the TC is what change tracking mechanisms meets present and future needs, across the widest set of implementation models. ODF is the basis for *interoperable interchange* of documents and *not* a processing model.This is a key issue and I would ask Rob to include it for a discussion today in our call. My understanding is that the scope of ODF includes the processing of documents outside editing applications. Here is the statement of purpose of ODF: https://www.oasis-open.org/committees/office/charter.php Statement of Purpose Item 4 (my bolding) does seem to be very clear about this, I see nothing that limits it to interchange (3) only. The "Anticipated Audience" (at the end of the charter) also includes "makers of XML or office document processing or editing solutions;" which again is clear. A lot of our apparent difficulties relate to this issue - we are very much involved with 4 and most of the rest of the TC members with 3. That is why we have different perspectives and why we need to debate and challenge one another in technical discussion. That can be difficult at times! Robin |
