Using pictures and examples in the spec

[Regina Henschel <regina.henschel@libreoffice.org>]

Hi all,

there are a lot of problems in the specification of graphic objects. It 
is often difficult to describe unambiguous, how a shape must look. The 
specification of SVG solves this problems by giving examples and 
pictures how this example looks. In addition there exists a large set of 
tests.

The specification of ECMA Office Open XML has some illustrations too in 
its normative part and some in its informative appendix L.

What do you think about using XML snippets and pictures in the ODF 
specification?

Kind regards
Regina
