The following issue I would like to discuss with you on our next call:

I have looked into this issue. Allow me to summarize:
In Section 5.5.2 on <text:changed-region> the last paragraph says

   A <text:changed-region> can be referenced by more than one
   change, but the corresponding referencing change mark elements
   shall be of the same change type - insertion, format change or
   deletion.
see http://docs.oasis-open.org/office/v1.2/os/OpenDocument-v1.2-os-part1.html#element-text_changed-region

The problem is that there is not such thing as "change type".
The idea was to say that those who are referencing to the same ID, should of course also represent the same change.
To me it seems redundant and therefore I would suggest to remove the underspecified part:
Because in XML multiple IDREF may refer to the same ID and it is obvious that they will refer to the same information. Therefore no additional info is given only confusion added.

PS: With change types the following elements have been referred to:

<define name="text-changed-region-content">
    <choice>
        <element name="text:insertion">
            <ref name="office-change-info"/>
        </element>
        <element name="text:deletion">
            <ref name="office-change-info"/>
            <zeroOrMore>
                <ref name="text-content"/>
            </zeroOrMore>
        </element>
        <element name="text:format-change">
            <ref name="office-change-info"/>
        </element>
    </choice>
</define>

Best regards,
