Hi Patrick,
I guess this depends on whether your proposal is for Approved Errata 02 or
only for ODF 1.2.
We can't make a specific syntax requirement here for Approved Errata
unless it we are sure that this change would not cause existing conformant
implementations to be non-conformant. That is why I suggested removing
the "typical syntax" altogether. Obviously this is far from ideal, but
such are the limitations of OASIS errata.
For ODF 1.2, I'd probably go with:
"The value of this attribute shall be a string consisting of an optional
namespace prefix followed by a Boolean expression."
Going forward do we really need to support the no prefix case?
