      ODF makes no assumption what document types (text document, spreadsheets, etc.) can be used as form or report. Using a math document as form or report may indeed be a rare case. However, since a math document is one of ODF document types, it would also be a somehow arbitrary restriction if it is not permitted here.

      Anyway, the following amendments should be made:

      Amend 12.25.1 General:
      Database front end documents can contain forms and reports as sub documents. They're linked from the database front end documents by XLinks. Alternatively, the content of sub documents may be included in the <db:component> elements as child elements.

      Instead of "linked by IRI" I would say "linked by" or "referenced by an XLink", but something like the above should be added again.

      Ad to 12.25.2 <db:forms>:

      It specifies a list of form documents and sub collections.

      Add to 12.25.3 <db:reports>:

      It specifies a list of report documents and sub collections.

      """
      Dear all,

      ----b
      12.25.5 <db:component>

      The <db:component> element specifies a database component which can be either a form or a report.

      A database component is either referenced using the xlink:href attribute or it is contained in a child <office:document> or <math:math> element.
      ----e

      It is not clear how MathML can function as a "form or report".

      Please provide a fuller explanation and example.
