- Svante reported on last week's Change
Tracking SC meeting:

IRC log: https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office-collab/201402/msg00003.html

Summary: 

1) We discussed absolute style settings
of creation operations, e.g. addParagraph versus the implicit settings,
which would inherit styles from the previous paragraph.

We agreed, that OT would become much
more complex when we would not use absolute formatting.

2) We discussed if shared operations
for text table and speadsheet makes sense. As ODF XML does share these
operations should do it as well.

- Review of public comments, one received
this week asking about status of OFFICE-3664:

 https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office-comment/201402/msg00000.html

- Status has not changed -- We rely
on TC members (or the public) to submit consumable specification drafts
for new features

- New comment from Regina on :https://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/OFFICE-3854

- Svante noted that RDF 1.1 has been
released, suggested the reference be updated in ODF 1.3.  Patrick
offered to examine our other external normative references to see if there
were other candidates for updating.
