Subject: PRD02 Pt 1, dimensions of variability
Dear all, ----b An ODF Consumer shall use application settings to alter application behavior only within the dimensions of variability permitted by this standard. ----e Noting that this is a normative constraint, how can it be determined whether a consumer is behaving "within the dimensions of variability permitted by this standard" ? The W3C note on dimensions of variability envisage the "dimensions" as 7 axes upon which conformance designs can have a location. Thus *everything* is "within" the dimensions of variability -- the point is (I take it) to avoid certain extremities in any dimension. This is really quite meaningless as a normative constraint. (If the TC disagrees, I'd like to know how they'd propose testing for it!) - Alex. ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.
