Yes? Yes, and the 'correct' here is a personal one. OOo choose one, I don't agree with it and have already implemented it quite different in KWord various months ago. > Of course, any given application may choose to support only one > "correct" behavior but other applications may choose to offer a fuller > range of choices as defined by ODF. That's right, and to allow multiple implementations to interoperate we should IMO not have some paragraph in the spec stating what should happen with the same tag in different parts of the document, but instead we should have an extra property that makes it explicit. This avoids the discussion what is the "correct" behavior by making it possible for OOo to store its wanted behavior in a property (probably 'true' for a table usecase, and 'false' for others) and at the same time allow other implementations do what they think is the best thing for their users. This is the reason I objected to the change. So for 1.2 we should either add the property (and if we do, I'd like to suggest some extra features like the alignment stuff), or leave the current 'no clipping' behavior as written in 1.1 Cheers! -- Thomas Zander
