Dennis Hamilton updated OFFICE-2201:
------------------------------------

              Summary: NEEDS-DISCUSSION: Provide a normative reference for regular expressions [N 1309]  (was: Provide a normative reference for regular expressions [N 1309])
        Fix Version/s: ODF 1.2 Part 1 CD 5
                           (was: ODF 1.0 Errata 03)
    Affects Version/s: ODF 1.0 (second edition)
                       ODF 1.0 Errata 02

The request from SC34 WG6 is that we be explicit that this and the others with a similar response should have an explicit statement that the syntax and semantics of the regular expressions used is implementation-dependent.

To accomplish this, in section 8.5.2 under sub-heading "Use Regular Expressions" add to the only paragraph of text the sentence

"""
The syntax and semantics of the regular expressions is implementation-dependent.
"""
