Subject: Re: [office] Rules for handling parsing errors (was:proposal forODF1.2: extension of verticalrelationvaluesforcertain anchor types)


Hi Michael,

since we have an actual use case with Olivers proposal I guess its worth discussing the problem along with this proposal. I the TC thinks --- as I do --- that this is an issue I'm happy to do some paperwork...

Oliver: Relax --- don't think this is a blocker for your proposal. Its just a great use case.

HTH,

~Florian

I have added this to the agenda, but the best way to actually track this 
idea would be to create a proposal wiki page for this. We may then 
schedule the discussion of your idea in the same way as that of any 
other proposal.

The page does not have to be very detailed at the start. It should be 
sufficient if it states what you have said already. This would allow us 
to have a first discussion of the topic that allows you to figure out if 
you want to further elaborate the idea, or just cancel its discussion.

Michael
