Re: [office] Possible clarification in office/v1.2/cos01/part1/6.1.2 aboutwhitespace...

I'd recommend putting such issues directly into JIRA:


http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/secure/CreateIssue!default.jspa


That will generate an email to the list and we can discuss, in the context 
of the issue, via JIRA comments.  This ensures that we don't lose track of 
the issue.  Probably want to suggest a change to the specification text 
that would provide the clarification that you are seeking.

Thanks!
