Subject: Conformance Definitions
Dear TC members, first of all, I would like to thank you for the valuable feedback I got after we have discussed the proposal in the last TC call. It seems to me that there are no objects for having only a single conformance level which does not allow foreign elements and attributes, but that there are concerns to immediately forbid foreign elements within <office:meta> and in particular also <*-properties> elements, where ODF 1.1 explicitly allowed these elements. I have updated the proposal[1] to reflect this, where I have taken the variant which did only define a single conformance level as basis. However, I have re-introduced the notion of a strictly conforming document, which means that there are two levels again. The one of a conforming document, and the one of a strictly conforming document. A conforming document is one that does allow foreign elements and attributes within <office:meta> and <*-properties>, and only there, while a strictly conforming document does not allow foreign elements and attributes at all. The differentiation is made again using a strict and a non-strict schema. In this regards, there is no change from ODF 1.1. The proposal further - declares the use of foreign elements in <office:meta> and <*-properties> to be deprecated; - indirectly adds a requirement to document their use by declaring their semantic to be implementation defined. - adds a requirement that conforming producers must be able to produce strict conforming documents on demand. I would like to discuss the proposal, and in particular the three items above, in the next TC call. And unless the proposal requires larger modifications, I would like to ask for a ballot on the proposal in this call.
