I didn't say "giving an ODF 1.1 document as a formal deliverable" ... did I?
I certainly don't want the TC to deliver "an ODF 1.1 document"
I want that version of the standard to be the one reviewed.

Your turn for misinterpretation?


Simple English.

1. The TC work on 1.1 as "the current Oasis standard"
   Review for Testability
   Generate Test spec
   deliver
2. That bit now finished.
    See what state 1.2 is in.
   Having the experience of working with 1.1, they know what to look for.
   They can crawl 1.2 for untestable stuff and report on it, prior to
the main TC delivering 1.2, which when delivered, will hopefully be
testable (or at least more testable).
3. Having a stable 1.2
  our TC can now get to work on that :
   generate test spec
   deliver.


They aren't wasting time working on a moving target. (1.2)

That was my objection to the stated deliverable as I interpreted it.

You (hopefully) aren't in a position to override this group.
