RE: [office] Preferred View Mode Approval - Recommendation

["Dennis E. Hamilton" <dennis.hamilton@acm.org>]

RECOMMENDATION

The document-repository ODF version is very different in form (as a markup
of the relevant sections of the ODF spec) than the wiki version which simply
proposes the addition and its text.  

I have confirmed that the proposed wordings for the Preferred View Mode
attribute are identical.

I recommend that text about anything but the Preferred View Mode be removed
from the from the wiki and the ODF versions to make it clear what the final
approved proposal is and so an observer will not be confused by the presence
of alternative options.

 - Dennis

PS: What was confusing for me during the call is that I was using the first
link, the one to the wiki format of the proposal text.  I had been using the
wiki form as definitive because I can open them from links in the agenda and
I didn't realize that is not the official one.  I'm learning.  Thank you for
your patience.  Now, It is even more confusing that the download area not
only removes the extension from files, but it uses mysterious filenames as
well.  I already had a copy of the ODF but I could not remember the name of
it!  (The enabling of ODF in my browser doesn't seem to have worked.)  In
the future, I will arrange to have the document-repository versions handy so
I can look at them quickly during the call.  I will also pay attention to
how proposal numbering is used in identifying and dating proposal documents.
Sorry for the confusion.

Dear TC members,

According to Dennis and Warren's suggestions, the wording for this proposal
has been updated. Thanks Dennis and Warren. Also the wiki link is updated
below:

I would like to ballot on the next TC call if no big changes occur.
