             Summary: Page layout allows to set only width or heighth instead of both
                 Key: OFFICE-3938
                 URL: https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/OFFICE-3938
             Project: OASIS Open Document Format for Office Applications (OpenDocument) TC
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Formatting Properties
    Affects Versions: ODF 1.2
            Reporter: Svante Schubert
            Priority: Minor


In the ODF RelaxNG XML schema of ODF it is possible to set the width or the height of a page, but both attributes are optional.

See http://docs.oasis-open.org/office/v1.2/os/OpenDocument-v1.2-os-part1.html#__RefHeading__1419862_253892949

As for the minimum of the two dimensional page both values are mandatory, I suggest for interoperability of page layout to drop their optional usage and make them for every page layout mandatory.

Or is there a use case known to someone to omit page height / width but using some other value?

Here the existing description from the ODF 1.2 RelaxNG (see http://docs.oasis-open.org/office/v1.2/os/OpenDocument-v1.2-os-schema.rng) 
<define name="style-page-layout-properties-attlist">
	<interleave>
		<optional>
			<attribute name="fo:page-width">
				<ref name="length"/>
			</attribute>
		</optional>
		<optional>
			<attribute name="fo:page-height">
				<ref name="length"/>
			</attribute>
		</optional>
