I acknowledge and apologize for my error.

With respect, this section is not all that different in relevant
portions from the section I mistakenly quoted and cited. It is still
the appropriate and exclusive means officially designated members of
the public to comment on ODF development and to bring matters to the
TC chairs' attention. I.e., "Comments shall not be accepted via any
other means." Posts to the user list do not constitute legal notice of
comments made under the OASIS procedure cited. Posts to the comments
list do.

The posts at this stage may not force TC action, but I believe the
remainder of my criticism stands. I therefore respectfully request
that the clarification I sought be provided. I have no concept of what
is and is not properly posted to this list beyond the fact that it
must relate to ODF development.

In other words, please respond to the meat of my post rather than just
to a minor error in it that does not subtract from the meat's flavor.

I will close by noting that some time ago I read every post in the
comments archive. I recall no previous instance where those
participating in good faith were asked to take their concerns to
another mailing list.

Best regards,
