Naturally, nobody was saying otherwise :) I have to ask, Is that a reason to not use the results already obtained in the test suite? The spec is still the same as when the tests were written. > Let's pay attention to the documents and the results we are going to > get with this... There are quite a lot of places where the testsuite points out problems in loading of a example document; I found a really funny one where openoffice reads the following line; <style:paragraph-properties fo:line-height="2000"/> as being 0.79 inch. I have no idea how it reasons that 2000 equals that value; other implementations say that 2000 is in postscript points and a huge value (some 705 mm). Using different units has different effects. When I create a document that loads so majorly different in two applications, I think that is a good interoperability bug for this conference. Anyone agree? These little problems are thus really easy to find and solve by going through the testsuite and finding the problems and fixing them in the office applications. Can you guys give me a good reason why for this conference we should invent new test-documents instead of reusing the ones already created? Bottom line is; I naturally don't object to creating new test documents at all. I just want to see OOo actually fix bugs. After all; the testsuite has been there for over a year and we found only 1 bug that has been fixed in OOo's ODF-loading code in that time. If this is due to problems with the testsuite; lets tackle *that* problem instead of duplicating the effort. -- Thomas Zander
