Placement of issue resolution - tabs and spreadsheets

[Patrick Durusau <patrick@durusau.net>]

Greetings!

I discovered/uncovered our resolution of:

https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/OFFICE-2127

on 2016-04-25, which reads:

*****
Patrick: Note that tab alignment is expected (should) for
interoperability (display) purposes
Patrick: set to ODF 1.3 but resolution is a note on expected support for
tab alignment in spreadsheets
Darrin House: that looks good
Patrick: consent on 2127

*****

I've updated JIRA to show the issue resolved but now have a question about where to best put the text?

Part 4, OpenFormula has no mention of tabs at all.

Part 3 has:

6.1.4 <text:tab> Defines the <text:tab> element - Good location for the proposed note?

Or,

17.8 <style:tab-stop> Defines a tab stop.

I'm leaning towards 17.8 <style:tab-stop> for a note that reads:

"Note: Spreadsheets should use tab elements 6.1.4 to align data in columns."

Other locations?

I'm thinking that as presentation in spreadsheet is a matter of style, that implementers will be more likely to catch the note under styles.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Patrick

PS: After agreement by the TC, this change will appear in a future working draft.
