Subject: Re: [office] Proposal for extending stroke dashed
Dear TC members, last August we approved below proposal. I have now noticed that the original proposal (which is at the bottom of this mail) added percentage values to the attributes draw:dots1-length and draw:dots2-length, but also to draw:distance. In the revised proposal I have unfortunately overseen the draw:distance attribute. It does include draw:dots1-length and draw:dots2-length only. Instead it should have also included the modification for draw:distance with the same clarification regarding percentage values that I have made for draw:dots1-length and draw:dots2-length. I therefore would like to ask for a re-approval of the proposal which includes the draw:distance attribute of the original proposal, but with the same clarifications that I have made regarding percentage values for draw:dots1-length and draw:dots2-length. Because this is a rather old proposal which we have discussed already and also at least partially approved, and because the original mail below contains also the original proposal, I have not added this to Wiki. But I may do so if this is requested. I will not attend top the call on the 8th, but would like to vote on this on the 22nd (there are no calls in the 1st and the 15th).
