RE: [oic] Advisories 0001 First Attempt - Separating Change Tracking

["Dennis E. Hamilton" <dennis.hamilton@acm.org>]

I think observations about not preserving unsupported change tracking
applies to producers, not consumers.  The consumer presentation as if
changes are accepted is a consequence of ignoring the change tracking and
any markers.  If a new document is produced, it should definitely be without
the change-tracking information.

This is specific enough, and independent of the in-line text statement, to
merit a separate advisory, it seems to me.

In particular, a producer that does not support change tracking and that
supports META-INF/documentsignatures.xml (in ODF 1.2) should never produce
content that the producer's user can't see, including any change-tracking
history and retained before-looks (clippings of passages that have been
replaced or deleted) from a document that was consumed and used as a basis
for deriving the one produced.

Although ODF 1.1 producers do not have to worry about digital signatures to
be conforming, the recommendation would appear to apply independently.

OK, so do we want this to add as an (additional) recommendation to this
advisory ?
If so, would this be a recommendation, or just a note / observation ("some
consumers remove..." ) ?


Best regards
