Subject: RE: [office-collab] 1. Backward compatibility: what are requirements?


The question was about backward compatibility.  I argued for it.  I'm not sure how you saw me saying that we should do nothing.  It is certainly not my position.  Perhaps it is my use of "preservation" that suggested more than ability to consume existing change-tracked documents as reliably as possible.  I did not mean more than reliable backward (although isn't it upward compatibility, technically?  Maybe we need to clarify the terminology).  

We should certainly take  into consideration of the impact of additional (and corrected) provisions on down-level implementations, but I wasn't thinking about that here.

In case it was not clear from discussions on the calls, I for one consider it critical that the question of preservation of change-tracking in existing ODF 1.0/1.1/1.2 documents be carefully addressed and that preservation be abandoned only as a last resort and to the least degree possible.
