Thanks. IMHO, a use case should not be identical
to the technical proposal itself. In other words, a request to add
element <foo> to ODF cannot be adequately explained by saying "Two
customers want ODF to have element <foo>." We need to
take it up a level and talk about what the user is trying to accomplish
with this feature. If Florian can do that it will be a great help
to me and others who are trying to evaluate the proposal.
