Michael Stahl  commented on OFFICE-2404:
----------------------------------------

hmmm... good question.

i think there should be a mainfest.rdf if:
- there are RDF metadata files
- content.xml or styles.xml contains some RDFa

if neither of these are given, then i don't think it's a problem if the producer omits the manifest.rdf.

> 4.2.2.1 says
> "The OpenDocument document contains a metadata manifest,"
> Reading part 3, section 2.6 Metadata
> "A document or sub document that is stored in a package may contain an arbitrary number of metadata files....
> All metadata files of a document or sub document shall be listed in a separate metadata manifest file, which has the file name "manifest.rdf""
> So it seems that it is absolutely required to have a metadata.rdf manifest file, even if there are no RDF metadata files at all ? Is that correct ?
