* Discussion of proposals
** flow-with-text clarification
http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office/200710/msg00088.html
no more concerns after revision
The TC unanimously accepted the proposal

** default values
collection of properties posted
what should be the values?
implementors should extract defaults from their applications.
ACTION: Ma Yue get defaults for Lotus Symphony
ACTION: David get defaults for KOffice
ACTION: Oliver get defaults for OpenOffice

There probably will be no defaults for fonts. Thus applications that want to me
interoperable on visual representation must include font information. The
font-declaration mechanism allows to include additional information about fonts
(including a URL for outlines)

** fields
use-cases now clear.
what should be the right markup for its representation?
Oliver will post some suggestions for markup to the mailing list.
ACTION: Oliver to post field markup suggestions

* SC status
** Formula (David W)
Spec submitted to TC
One issue: yearfrac (important for financial apps)
Lots of disagreement on details of implementation only large set of test data
Only solution seems to be to check different possible algorithms against the
test data
Some function renaming needs to be done
Some editorial cleanups needed
Method needed to throw out hidden section
ACTION: Michael to write XSLT to throw out hidden sections

** Metadata (Patrick)
Following up with W3c semantic web group
Discussion on fields... will deal with that issue in next calls

** A11Y (Rob)
No updates

* Misc.
Is it possible to connect connectors to connectors?
Not really sure...
ACTION: Michael to do some research

Next meeting will most likely be chaired by Rob. Will use same dial in information.
