Subject: RE: FW: [office] Homonymy Impact - Version Identification at the Feature Level
Michael, I love the built-in cross-referencing that appears in the new drafts for ODF 1.2. That is a tremendous feature. It brings up a new problem, because not all uses of the same attribute name are the same and there is only one entry in section 18 for all of the homonyms. This suggests to me that we need some structure below the attribute name entry in order to sort out the homonymic cases. I also assume that the cross-reference mechanism will not be able to handle that, because there is no way to indicate to it which homonym is intended where. The situation I am referring to is what Patrick discusses in his annotation of the section on the table:name attribute. This applies in many other places (text:name and style:name probably) and for other attributes. See the draft7-10 text for section 18.1029 table:name for an illustration of the need to provide specification by homonymic case, and how Patrick has been handling it. It seems to me that this treatment of version-specific introduction and change might have to be at the level which is now reflected by bullet-list items. - Dennis -----Original Message----- From: Michael.Brauer@Sun.COM [mailto:Michael.Brauer@Sun.COM] http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office/200810/msg00051.html Sent: Tuesday, October 14, 2008 00:04 To: robert_weir@us.ibm.com Cc: office@lists.oasis-open.org Subject: Re: FW: [office] Discussion Requested - Version Identification at the Feature Level [ ... ] Thanks to the changes that Patrick made, this assumption is actually correct. Each element is described in a subsection of its own, and the same applies to attributes. With the generation of the element and attribute lists I have further introduces a simple pattern for reference marks. This makes it easy to add reference to the subsection where an element or attribute is defined. [ ... ]
