Subject: [OASIS Issue Tracker] Commented: (OFFICE-3693) Public Comment: (Ed)3.10.2 <config:config-item-set> [ODF 1.2 Part 1, Public ReviewDraft 03 ofJan 19th 2011]
[ http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/OFFICE-3693?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=25506#action_25506 ] Robert Weir commented on OFFICE-3693: -------------------------------------- Two things: 1) What does the standard allow? and 2) What breaks interoperability? To me it is clear that config settings, used in a conforming way, could break interoperability. For example, you could have a config settings that says, "In the absence of a default font definition, use Zapf Dingbats 4 pt, green text on a purple background." The interesting thing, however, about that case, is that a conforming implementation may have this behavior even without config settings. It could just be the application's hard-coded default setting. So config settings don't enable new ways of breaking interoperability. They merely give another way for an implementation to control the use of any conforming, non-interoperable behavior they already support. Of course, I'd love to have fewer non-interoperable behaviors. But the way we address that in the spec is by adding additional requirements on the underlying behaviors, e.g., a requirement on default text styles. You don't get far by trying to restrict where the document these settings are stored. > Public Comment: (Ed) 3.10.2 <config:config-item-set> [ODF 1.2 Part 1, Public ReviewDraft 03 of Jan 19th 2011] > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: OFFICE-3693 > URL: http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/OFFICE-3693 > Project: OASIS Open Document Format for Office Applications (OpenDocument) TC > Issue Type: Bug > Components: General > Affects Versions: ODF 1.2 CD 07 > Reporter: Robert Weir > Assignee: Robert Weir > Priority: Minor > > Copied from office-comment list > Original author: Jesper Lund Stocholm <4a4553504552@gmail.com> > Original date: 4 May 2011 07:07:18 -0000 > Original URL: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office-comment/201105/msg00001.html -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
