    XMLWordPrintable

    Details

    • Type: Bug
    • Status: Applied
    • Priority: Major
    • Resolution: Fixed
    • Affects Version/s: ODF 1.2 Part 3 CD 1
    • Fix Version/s: ODF 1.2 Part 3 CD 2
    • Component/s: Conformance, Packaging
    • Labels:
      None
    • Environment:

      This issue applies to ODF 1.2 Part 3 CD01 (file OpenDocument-v1.2-part3-cd01.odt plus the PDF and HTML formats).

    • Proposal:
      Hide

      1. Remove section 7.2.2, Conforming OpenDocument Extended Packages and section 7.3.2 Conforming OpenDocument Extended Producer. Eliminate all mention of OpenDocument Extended Packages elsewhere in the Conformance section, simplifying the stated conformance conditions accordingly.

      2. Delete conformance clause (PD 1.3.4). If there are additional conditions on the presence of and agreement among mimetypes, document "/" media-type, and other structural constraints for ODF 1.2 document types in packages, those conditions can be stated in ODF 1.2 Part 1.

      Description

      1. In Part 3 section 7.2.2, the only difference made between a Conforming OpenDocument Package and Conforming OpenDocument Extended Package is when the optional mimetype file and the optional <manifest:file-entry> element with manifest:full-path="/" are both present. For a Conforming OpenDocument Package, the manifest:media-type attribute value must match the mimetype file content. For a Conforming OpenDocument Extended Package, agreement is not required.

      2. I fear that I may have had something to do with this being in here. Either way, I find that this is insufficient cause to define two conformance targets hinged on such a minor difference.

      3. The consequence of this two-level approach is a great deal of effort having to say when a provision (or related conformance target) applies to Conforming OpenDocument Documents and when Conforming OpenDocument Extended Documents are also included or excluded.

      4. Supplementai Issue OFFICE-2259 proposes one way a specialized conformance target requiring presence and agreement between the two MIME Type occurrences.
