Subject: ODF compatibility, alt. CDRF standards (was: The importance to users of documents looking the same)
Paul, Based on your current thinking, this is clearly the wrong place for you. This is to discuss a charter for a TC to look at ODF interop. If you want to create an ODF-incompatible standard, by all means start a TC, but it is off-topic here. If you don't think ODF can work interoperably, that's a fine view to hold, but it's irrelevant to the work on the new TC. You might be right that there are limits to interop; in this instance, c'est la vie; the enemy of the good is the perfect. Additionally, with respect to your points on CDRF: ----- Original Message ---- From: marbux <marbux@gmail.com Subject: Re: [oiic-formation-discuss] The importance to users of documents looking the same > CDRF, through its incorporation by references of the modal definition > of "may" in RFC 2119, also requires that implementations of the subset > profile be capable of processing the content of the superset profile > even with reduced functionality. It makes no such requirement. It _does_ require that superset apps process subset content as if it were superset content. It _does not_ require that subset apps process superset content in any way. See, e.g.., the conformance criteria of WICD Mobile, which does not even optionally suggest such a thing: http://www.w3.org/TR/WICDMobile/#conformance Thanks. __________________________________________________________ Sent from Yahoo!
