Discussion of Work Package 1.2 First Level Elements
---------------------------------------------------
- The TC unanimously accepted to remove the "office:class" attribute 
from the "office:document" elements. The are not required any longer, 
because new 'genre' elements have been introduced as children of the 
"body" element.
- The TC postponed a decision about the names of the "genre" elements 
until the next TC meeting.

Discussion of Work Package 2 Meta information
---------------------------------------------
The TC discussed the extensibility of meta information. Various 
suggestion have been made on the TC's list, including the possibility to 
add arbitrary elements to the meta information as well as only extending 
the existing "meta:user-defined" elements to support other types than 
strings. It has also been discussed whether user defined meta 
information has to be addressable from other parts of documents, for 
instance from fields. The discussion will be continued in the next TC 
meeting.
