Do you have a target date for completing this process?

I've just spent a fair amount of time getting my work back in sync with the 
current OOo codebase - I'd rather not have to do it again!

That at least is encouraging - the CSS3 properties

   'text-overline-style'
   'text-overline-width'
   'text-overline-color'
   'text-overline-mode'

would map to my proposed new ODF overline properties in exactly the same way as 
the CSS3 properties

   'text-underline-style'
   'text-underline-width'
   'text-underline-color'
   'text-underline-mode'

map to the existing ODF underline properties.

Martin
