Subject: [OASIS Issue Tracker] Commented: (OFFICE-2326) Treat all typesequally, i.e., no pseudotypes
[ http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/OFFICE-2326?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17811#action_17811 ] David Wheeler commented on OFFICE-2326: ---------------------------------------- No, I don't think that'll work. There's a big difference between Pseudotypes and (normal) Types. Types are what implementations ACTUALLY deal with; pseudotypes are merely an abstraction created in this specification to simplify their specification. For example, the value 2 can be a Basis, a DateParam (it means "2 days after the beginning of the epoch), a Number, and so on. That's because at their heart anything based on Number is a Number. There is no way for implementations to tell the difference; the only REAL difference is the difference between the types (Number, Text, Error, ...). > Treat all types equally, i.e., no pseudotypes > ---------------------------------------------- > > Key: OFFICE-2326 > URL: http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/OFFICE-2326 > Project: OASIS Open Document Format for Office Applications (OpenDocument) TC > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: OpenFormula > Reporter: Patrick Durusau > Assignee: Patrick Durusau > Fix For: ODF 1.2 Part 2 CD 2 > > > We currently have types and pseudotypes.
