      In 20.374 replace the existing text with:
      The style:text-rotation-angle attribute specifies an angle to which text is rotated. The
      value of this attribute can be any integer, which specify the rotation angle in degrees, or an angle
      as specified in <reference to the definition of angle>.
      If more than one character is selected, the entire selection is rotated as a block.

      Change the schema to allow arbitrary integers and angles:
      <attribute name="style:text-rotation-angle">
      <choice>
      <ref name="integer"/>
      <ref name="angle"/>
      </choice>
      </attribute>

      Description

      In ODF 1.0/1.1 style:text-rotation-angle had as possible attribute value any integer angle. When the angle was read it was supposed to be "rounded" to 0, 90 or 270 degrees.

      The current ODF 1.2 draft restricts the possible values of style:text-rotation-angle to 0, 90, 270 (see also OFFICE-3407).

      Many programs allow text to be rotated an arbitrary amount (for example for tick labels, cell content, etc.). Sometimes this can be handled using style:rotation-angle, for example if the whole content of a cell is to be rotated, but this does not work if for example lines of text in a cell are rotated around different axes of rotation.

      I would like to propose to allow arbitrary angles and arbitrary integers (to be interpreted as degrees) as values for this attribute.
