While I understand we are moving Appendix E to a separate document we need to correct the wording in Appendix E.3 (whether it is included in the ODF 1.1 spec or is made externally

Users importing non-OpenDocument slides that contain tables need access to the table structure via their assistive technology. Therefore tables imported into OpenDocument from another file format must have their structure preserved, and should be imported as embedded spreadsheets.

to:

Users importing non-OpenDocument slides that contain tables need access to the table structure via their assistive technology. Therefore tables imported into an OpenDocument application from another file format must have their structure preserved, and when saved as ODF should be saved as embedded spreadsheets.

The way this was previously worded was ambiguous in that Open Document applications may import powerpoint slides natively and saying that you would need to convert the document to an embedded spreadsheet for a powerpoint slide would be incorrect. and IBM would like to see this changed.
