Subject: tables and latest ODF spec



In the v7-02 ODF spec at http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/28121/OpenDocument-v1.2-v7-02.odt I found the following items of interest to our group:

18.921 table:is-sub-table (Note the last sentence from the editor.)
If a table cell only contains a single table but no paragraphs or other content, this table can be specified as subtable. It then occupies the whole cell and no other content can appear in this cell.
The borders of a subtable merge with the borders of the cell that it resides in. A subtable does not have its own style. A subtable is essentially a container for some additional table rows that integrate seamlessly with the parent table.
A nested table is turned into a subtable with the attribute table:is-sub-table that is attached to the table element. A nested table that is not a specified to be a subtable appears as a table within a table, that is, it has borders distinct from those of the parent cell and respects the padding of the parent cell.
Ed. Note: The examples have been removed, since they implied that is-sub-table is appropriate for simulating row- and colspan.

Appendix E.3 Tables in Presentations
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 OpenDocument should be saved as as embedded spreadsheets.

Is  there anything else I should look for?

p.s. The link to our guidelines is bad here:

Appendix E.4 Further Guidelines
Additional, non-normative Accessibility Guidelines are available at: http://docs.oasis-open.org/office/office-accessibility/guidelines.
