Acceptance of Minutes of the March, the 3rd meeting ------------------------------------------------------ - The attending TC members unanimously accepted the minutes. Action Items ------------ - Daniel: Send link to updated TC spec/schemes maintained on OpenOffice.org - in progress - Daniel: Suggest names for genre elements and attribute for master docs - in progress - Editors: suggest Relax-NG schema changes according to the meeting decisions - in progress - Daniel: provide examples for word-processor style lists in the base format - done, see http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office/200303/msg00001.html Discussion of Work Package 3.1.2 Lists -------------------------------------- - The TC unanimously agreed to replace the "text:ordered-list" and "text:unordered-list" list elements with a single "text:list", because the information whether a list is ordered or unordered is already contained in the list styles, so that different elements for ordered and unordered lists are in fact a redundancy. This also avoids the problem of overwriting the list type in a style, that even exists in HTML, where the list types can be overwritten with CSS rules. - The TC also discussed the addition of a level attribute to the paragraph element. This allows to assign a numbering style and a level to a paragraph without requiring a list and list-item element. This is considered to be useful by the TC, because word processors allow not only to have numbered paragraph one after another (what can be considered to be a list), but also to have them randomly distributed among a document. Representing the later kind of numbered paragraphs by list elements is considered to be less reasonable by the TC. The TC also discussed to completely remove the list and list-item elements. The advantage of this would be a single concept for numbered paragraphs. The disadvantage of this however would be that in this case even document where numbered paragraphs appear and behave like lists for the user would not reflect the list structure. Also transformations that deal with lists would get more complicated, and the resulting schema would differ from other schemes like XHTML that contain markup for lists. A reasonable compromise seems to be to have both concepts, list and single numbered paragraphs. This on the one hand would allow to represent numbered paragraphs as list where they appear and behave like lists in word processor applications, without forcing numbered paragraphs to be represented as lists, where this is not the case. Michael Brauer will make a proposal for this on the TC lists and the discussion/voting of this will be continued on the list. New Action Items ---------------- Michael: Make proposal for list/numbered paragraphs. Michael Brauer OASIS Open Office XML format TC chair
