data-typing

["Bruce D'Arcus" <bdarcus@gmail.com>]

So I looked at the existing data-typing attributes in ODF. My  
conclusion is that while we can reuse the office:value-type attribute  
we need a new generic value attribute; perhaps we call it just  
office:value?

The reason is that the current set of value attributes are fixed, and  
specific to the defined data-type. That does not provide us enough  
flexibility.

Also, IIRC, the existing list of data-types is extensible? If yes,  
that's good, because I think we need that. But if we have that  
extension, then we them to be in the form one would expect: either a  
URI or namespace-qualified QName.

So I would suggestion this for the latter attribute:

office-value = attribute office:value { text }
