Lack of clarity.

1.5

Conforming applications either shall read documents that are valid
against the OpenDocument schema if all foreign elements and attributes
are removed before validation takes place, or shall write documents
that are valid against the OpenDocument schema if all foreign elements
and attributes are removed before validation takes place.

then

Foreign elements may have an office:process-content attribute attached
that has the value true or false. If the attribute's value is true, or
if the attribute does not exist, the element's content should be
processed by conforming applications. Otherwise conforming
applications should not process the element's content, but may only
preserve its content. If the element's content should be processed,
the document itself shall be valid against the OpenDocument schema if
the unknown element is replaced with its content only.


1. No definition of foreign.
Could mean anything in a namespace not in the standard
Could mean a recognised element, not in a location specified by the schema



2. The second para seems to contradict the first?

3. what happens to ODF namespaced elements which are wrapped within
'foreign' elements


Clarity please.
