Dennis Hamilton commented on OFFICE-3534:
-----------------------------------------

I'm not going to the mat on this one.  I don't believe for a moment that anyone can create an interoperable implementation of this given the description as it is or even as it is adjusted by OFFICE-1809.

Be that as it may, I agree the key thing is to achieve reconciliation with Errata 02 and ODF 1.2.  

Nevertheless, we should keep in mind that the defect report made this claim that I find difficult to dispute:
"""
In our opinion, subclauses 8.4.3 thru 8.4.5 are underspecified and incomprehensible. They do not provide enough background information or examples. Moreover, the semantics of trace-dependents, remove-dependents, trace-precedents, remove-precedents, trace-errors. trace-dependents and remove-dependents are not specified at all. 
"""
The values of <table:operation> table:name were cleaned up in Errata 02 and in ODF 1.2.  However, that was a "moreover" and not the key objection.

I think this is a pay-me-now or pay-me-later situation, and we get to choose our poison.  If the adjustments around implementation-dependence here are not considered helpful in that respect, so be it.

> The ODF 1.0 section 8.4.5 on <table:highlighted-range> was questioned in the defect report that OFFICE-1809 is the Errata 02 response to.  However, <table:highlighted-range> was not addressed.
> It seems appropriate to make a stronger connection by updating the ODF 1.2 9.3.4 <table:highlighted-range> to tie in with the Errata 02 reconciled forms of section 9.3.2 <table:detective> and 9.3.3 <table:operation>.
