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,

"body" element.

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.
