Subject: [OASIS Issue Tracker] Commented: (OFFICE-1221) Public Comment: <text:s> element (etc) needs to be removed (ODF 1.2)
[ http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/OFFICE-1221?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=31337#action_31337 ]
Dennis Hamilton commented on OFFICE-1221:
-----------------------------------------
I can't make heads or tails of the text in the Proposal section, and considering that the proposal and the first comment from Patrick were entered only minutes apart confuses me even more.
If <text:space> gives the number of spaces, what happens if that differs from what is in the element? Also, having an element with an implicit xml:space that disagrees with the global xml:space assumption is messy. Finally, what does it then mean to have xml:space="collapse"?
For <text:tab> I am even more mystified by the situation. First, the destination of the tab (that is where it stops) is detemined by tab information in the applicable styles. Absent handling of that, the paragraph start-margin relative position to stop at is given as a hint. How does any of that relate to having a sequence of HT in the content? And I ponder xml:space="collapse" here too.
If the idea is to use collapsing of white-space as the default for paragraph-content, then having explicit <text:s>, <text:tab>, and <text:linebreak> are just fine.
If the idea is to turn it off in places and use white-space characters, I suppose a <text:span> with xml:space="preserve" would do just fine. (I would leave <text:s>, etc., in the specification, but identify them as deprecated perhaps. But I still don't see the importance of this.
PS: The two defined values for xml:space are "default" and "preserve", not "collapse" and "preserve".
PPS: It strikes me that Alex Brown's example concerning search might be confusing searching in the XML markup and searching in the document within a processor. I assume human users want to search on what is seen, not what might be its persistent form in the XML representation of the document.
