Subject: Re: [office] Suggested ODF1.2 items
I never weighed in on this suggestion of Florian's, in part because it relates to on-going discussions at the metadata SC, but since I recall there's some discussion of these suggestions going on now-ish ...

I think before we get specific about that, I'd agree we need one (or more) generic metadata fields. The start/end approach seems potentially dangerous to me (how do you handle well-formedness if the field spans across the end of a content node?), but my more important concern is that the field (or at least one of them) consist of two distinct structures: structure and presentation. E.g. Daniel Vogelheim and I settled on a structure like this for the citation field: field source body If you're concerned about interop with OOXML, they also do something similar (though encode all of the "source" in a single attribute, which I think a bad design choice).
