Dennis Hamilton commented on OFFICE-1818:
-----------------------------------------

Errata 02 - ODF 1.2 Reconciliation:
  There is extensive elaboration of this provision in ODF 1.2 making the implementation-dependent clarification in Errata 02 less necessary, although it will depend on more careful analysis to determine if there is anything essential still omitted.

For example, it is not clear whether the extension lines are always perpendicular to the reference line or the vector can be at a different angle.  I suspect from the description that perpendicular is the only possible answer, but it just says "The first extension line is drawn on a line as defined by the vector from the start reference point to the start point of the dimension line."  But the start point of the dimension line is not specified, although its distance from the reference line appears to be.  So the perpendicular vector interception with that parallel dimension line probably determines the starting point of the dimension line, not vice versa.

> DEFECT REPORT NUMBER 	JP2-27
> QUALIFIER 	clarification required
> REFERENCES IN DOCUMENT 	Clause 9.2.11
> NATURE OF DEFECT 	
> This clause fails to define what is a measure line.
> The only way to understand this paragraph is to invoke OpenOffice.org and see its measure lines. Such descriptions would be acceptable if they appeared in manuals of OpenOffice.org. But standards should make clear what is meant without relying on commercial implementations.
> SOLUTION PROPOSED BY THE SUBMITTER 	Specify shapes of measure lines with diagrams.
