Subject: Re: [office-metadata] Re: Fwd: [office] proposal to enhanceannotations
Hmm. Looks like a perfect use-case for metadata. And especially a lot of time went into the dicussion of ids and overlapping start/end segments. So I see no reason why introducing yet another extension mechanism. At least the proposal should be compatible with the metadata spec and not orthogonal. ~Florian >>> Michael Brauer <Michael.Brauer@Sun.COM> 07/26/07 3:00 PM >>> I don't know, but how does that help? The proposal is to extend the existing annotations, that are anchored at a certain position in the text, by an additional element, so that it becomes possible that to anchor them on a range of characters.
