Subject: Re: [office-collab] Generic CT proposal - an implementer's look atit
Hi Thorsten On 01.04.2011 03:37, Thorsten Behrens wrote: Here's the crux: because the proposal relies solely on generic modifications of the xml info set (both structurally, by changing the tree, and by modifying attributes), and all those operations are considered valid (section 3, items 6 and 7 of the generic-ct-proposal), the set of semantically distinct editing operations *is unbounded*. Which is a fundamental problem, for all applications that need to map the change tracking markup into their internal, optimized-for-editing document models - because what you have here, is a limited set of editing operations, that are closely related to concrete user actions ("insert" an object, "delete" an object, "merge" two objects - with a very application-specific meaning, that may not map 1:1 to the xml representation). I'm not sure if I got you correctly. You consider it problematic that there might be change transactions in the document that do not match basic user actions. So you are basically referring to a) the ability of grouping arbitrary changes because this most like does not match any basic user action and b) the ability to add/delete/change attributes of an element, right? Because all the other cases seem to represent concrete office productivity user actions. Regards, Frank --
