About OpenDocument Format and units "at"/"atm"
Hello,

    

    

    
This url
      http://docs.oasis-open.org/office/v1.2/os/OpenDocument-v1.2-os-part2.html#__RefHeading__1018496_715980110
      indicates:

    
"atm"
        ("at") * Atmosphere

    
So "atm" is considered as the same as "at" for
      the formart.

    

    

    

    
However these units aren't identical.

    Indeed, here are the equivalent values in Pascal:

    "at" = technical atmosphere = 1.0197×10−5 Pa
    
"atm" = standard atmosphere = 9.8692×10−6 Pa

    

    

    
See
      http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmosphere_%28unit%29

    
http://physics.nist.gov/Pubs/SP811/appenB8.html

    

    

    
Would it be possible to amend the format? If
      yes, what's the process? Whom should I contact?

    

    

    

    
Regards,
