Dennis Hamilton commented on OFFICE-901:
----------------------------------------

I confess that I still don't understand this, although there are more clues in the comments and the proposal as currently written.

My original question involved wanting to understand which part the attribute was effective on - the linking-from document or the linked-to document.  

I also see that there are now two general questions about linked-to documents.  

First is whether they can be edited at the same time or as in-line in the linking-from document (and similarly for documents embedded as sub-documents, now that I think of it). I could see this as being outside the scope of the ODF specification, although there is some consideration that must be paid to consumers being able to accept and deal with linked-to documents that are linked-from the document being consumed.  

Secondy, and of greater concern for consumers, I would think, is how do features of the two documents that influence layout, pagination, section numbering, all of those things, interact in creating the document as a consumer might present it, format for printing, etc..  I am assuming, for this purpose, that the linked-to documents, if ODF document, must be a conforming document and therefore can be consumed and produced individually by conforming consumers and producers.

I will look at this again on review of OpenDocument v1.2 part 1 CD04.
