Acceptance of Minutes of the April, the 5th meeting
----------------------------------------------------
- The attending TC members unanimously accepted the minutes.


Action Items
------------
none


Diagonals
---------
The TC unanimously agreed to the proposal for diagonals for table cells 
as posted in
http://www.oasis-open.org/archives/office/200404/msg00008.html
with the following modifications
- the attributes will be called style:diagonal-tl-br and
   style:diagonal-bl-tr
- the additional attributes style:diagonal-tl-br-widths and
   style:diagonal-bl-tr-widths will be added. Their semantics equals
   the style:border-line-width-* attributes described in section
   14.5.27

The TC agreed that this proposal will be integrated into the 1.0 
specification.


Footnote Separator Line Style
-----------------------------
The TC unanimously agreed to the proposal for a footnote separator line 
style as posted in
http://www.oasis-open.org/archives/office/200404/msg00009.html
with the modification that the attribute will be called style:line-style.

The TC agreed that this proposal will be integrated into the 1.0 
specification.


Handout Master Page Layout
--------------------------
The TC unanimously agreed to the proposal for adding a page layout 
attribute to the handout master page element as posted in
http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office/200404/msg00023.html.

The TC agreed that this proposal will be integrated into the 1.0 
specification.


Table Row breaking behavior
--------------------------
The TC discussed the proposal to add XSL-FO's fo:keep-together property 
to table row styles as posted in
http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office/200404/msg00024.html. The 
attribute specifies whether page breaks are allowed within table rows.

The TC unanimously agreed to this proposal, but at the same time noticed 
that there is already a style:break-inside attribute that has the same 
purpose for paragraphs. The TC considers this as an error and prefers 
the use of the fo:keep-together attribute for paragraphs as well. The TC 
agreed to correct the 1.0 specification to use the fo:keep-together 
attribute.


New Action Items
----------------
none
