RE: [office-comment] Proposed resolution to public comment #10
I think it would be useful to specify somewhere (I am not digging out a spec
and looking, so forgive me) that the XML for ODF conforms to [xml-names]
(assuming that the specification doesn't contradict that) as a normative
condition.

I don't think that modifying the particular clause will accomplish what Dave
is noticing (although one could still make that change), because the
statement is about the Table 1 namespace prefixes and not about where ":"
can occur.

I'm thinking that the phrase "in accordance with the Namespaces in XML 
specification..." would cover that.  Would stating it as "in conformance 
with..." be clearer?
