Dennis Hamilton commented on OFFICE-2207:
-----------------------------------------
After researching this further, I think we should apply the change to this in ODF 1.2 back to ODF 1.0 (and eventually 1.1). See OFFICE-1211 and the new comments on how to simplifiy this.
The advantage of using the ODF 1.2 version is that it eliminates all of the incorrect and/or misleading statements here.
There is also a new Public Comment about this Errata item, at OFFICE-2575.
The question about DTDs and MathML in the original Alex Brown comment needs to be dealt with elsewhere.
There remains a quarrel about whether element content or element-only content are meaningful here in the absence of a DTD. But the RNG Grammar elements that do not have character data (not mixed content) and ones that do. It may be just a matter of using our terms carefully.

> Affects Versions: ODF 1.0, ODF 1.0 (second edition)
> Reporter: Robert Weir

> Clause
> 1.6
> Page
> 34
> Description of issue
> It is stated that "In conformance with the W3C XML specification [XML1.0], optional white-space characters that are contained in elements that have element content (in other words that must contain elements only but not text) are ignored".
> * It is not clear what "optional white-space characters" are (the term is not defined in XML 1.0), or how the described behaviour conforms to XML 1.0.
> * Does the phrase "elements that have element content" mean elements that have only element content? This cannot make sense, as whitespace is itself text content.
> * Consider the markup <text:p><text:span>Hello</text:span> <text:span>world</text:span></text:p>. If processed according to the text above, the space between the words here would be ignored, yet no known ODF processor actually respects this provision.
> Proposal
> Reform the text to answer the above queries and modify the stated processing behaviour to accord with the existing corpus of documents and processors.
