Re: [office] Drawing page names (Re: [office] OpenDocument TC MeetingMinutes 2006-02-13)

[Michael Brauer - Sun Germany - ham02 - Hamburg <Michael.Brauer@Sun.COM>]

Dear TC members,

below proposal is one of the last two which I have not integrated into
the ODF 1.2 specification part 1 so far (there are a few more that I did
not integrate, but these are changes to part 3).

The proposal was to add <svg:desc> and <svg:title> to <draw:page> and
<table:table>. For draw:page everything is fine and I did integrate this 
already. But for <table:table> I have the concerns that I stated below. 
I did therefore suggest a slightly different solution for <table:table>, 
but never tried to get a decision on this.

The questions now are?

Do we need title and description for <table:table>, as Malte suggested 
below?
If yes, shall we use <svg:desc> anc <svg:title>, or follow an 
alternative approach using attributes?

Opinions on this are welcome.

Best regards

Michael
