Like Dennis, I thought we were talking about ODF > 1.3. > No, if we are doing CSDs every six months, working towards a release in two years (Michael's estimate), which accumulates up the CSDs to that point, why couldn't that be ODF 2.0? Not saying it would be, entirely the TCs decision but two years of CSDs to do a point release of corrections seems a bit slow. Particularly since moving quickly to standardization is alleged to be a feature of the OASIS process. >From my personal point of view the entire point of the ODF 1.2 exercise was to make changes, if deemed necessary and useful by the TC, *easier*. That doesn't mean we need to make any particular change but to enable changing where there is a real benefit to the change. Personally I like the idea of working towards a non-backwards compatible version. In part because new approaches are judged on their own merits and not their compatibility with existing code. But, as Michael has observed this morning, that is something that can only be decided on a case by case basis. So, without regard to the labeling, ODF 1.3 or ODF 2.0 or some other moniker, I will try to assemble the information for changes that I think would be useful. Hope you are at the start of a great day!
