Dennis Hamilton commented on OFFICE-2198:
-----------------------------------------

In ODF 1.2 CD05, the rule for declaration before first usage holds, but there is no statement requiring that this be at the front of the document.   So the Errata item corresponding to this issue requires no transposition to ODF 1.2.
