Re: [office-metadata] Document Design and metadata

[Svante Schubert <Svante.Schubert@Sun.COM>]

Hi Patrick, Hi Bruce,

concerning the statement of Patrick, I am not sure if I understand his 
position completely. (Maybe it is simply a Monday phenomenon..):
How can any chosen meta design help a bad written user document to 
become well - or even better - written?
Where are the obstacles in saying there should be no indirection of 
metadata by having metadata on metadata in a document?

I am curious, what is the most important thing for you right now?
