Subject: Re: [office-collab] Generic CT proposal - an implementer's look atit
Hi Rob, yes, this would be an option. For example, there might be a use case for tracking the insertion of an unused automatic style in a document, but most likely not in the scope of collaborative document editing.

For example, we could enumerate the specific places in ODF where the change tracking is allowed. Maybe schema annotations could be used for this. 3) In "extended ODF documents" allow the unconstrainted general use of the change tracking features. This matches how we treat extensibility in ODF 1.2. We have an unlimited extensibility mechanism (foreign elements) that is difficult for any processor to handle in a generic way. But this is only allowed in extended documents. For non-extended documents we allow only specific kinds of extensions, e.g., RDF metadata, application settings, etc. -Rob Thorsten Behrens <tbehrens@novell.com> wrote on 04/04/2011 04:50:16 PM:you wrote:I'm not sure if I got you correctly.
