Subject: RE: [office-comment] PRD02 Pt 1 Conformance language non-sense
Alex, I can see that saying "the namespace prefix *in* a ... text:formula attribute *value* ... " might be better, but if you look at the definitions of those particular attributes you will see the relevant details. Does this help, and is that enough in the wording that would make this more clear? - Dennis BACKGROUND We're talking about an attribute *value* not its name. We have a mechanism, used in various places in ODF, where an attribute value has the form of an [optional] NCName together with a following ":" that is then followed by some further attribute value. The NCName must be bound to a namespace and that namespace determines the syntax and semantics of some or all of the further attribute value. (In the case of table:formula attribute values, it is all of the rest.) This is not new in ODF, and we endeavored to improve it in ODF 1.2. Previously, it was somehow assumed that the ":" was part of the prefix but that is not true, and we modified things to say that when the [optional] prefix is present it must be separate from the remainder of the attribute value by a ":". The omission of the Unicode Code Point is an oversight. -----Original Message----- From: Alex Brown [mailto:alexb@griffinbrown.co.uk] Sent: Friday, December 24, 2010 23:10 To: office-comment@lists.oasis-open.org Subject: [office-comment] PRD02 Pt 1 Conformance language non-sense Dear all, ----b D.3)If the namespace prefix of a style:condition, table:condition, table:expression, table:formula or text:formula attribute is associated with the "urn:oasis:names:tc:opendocument:xmlns:of:1.2" namespace, or if a namespace prefix is omitted for any of these attributes, the syntax of any formula which is contained in the values of these attributes shall conform to part 2 of this specification. ----e Walking through the first of these: "If the namespace prefix of a style:condition [...] attribute" ... [okay, that prefix is "style"] ... "is associated with the "urn:oasis:names:tc:opendocument:xmlns:of:1.2" namespace" [okay, so if the "style" prefix is bound to this URI ... but hang on, the prefix of a conformant style:condition attribute is defined elsewhere in the spec as having to be "urn:oasis:names:tc:opendocument:xmlns:style:1.0", so we're talking here about a non-conformant document] ??? I think what was intended here was to say something about namespace prefixes used in these attributes' *values* - I think this needs some careful re-wording because as it stands it seems to be a nonsensical conformance target. - Alex. ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.
