                 URL: http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/OFFICE-3346
             Project: OASIS Open Document Format for Office Applications (OpenDocument) TC
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Part 1 (Schema), Styles
    Affects Versions: ODF 1.0 Errata CD 5
            Reporter: Robert Weir 


As posted by Jos on mailing list:

Today I was reading paragraph 16.2 of OpenDocument-v1.2-cd05-part1-editor-
revision_01.odt.

I tried to deduce how to resolve certain properties for certain ODF fragments.

<text:p text:style-name='A'>
  <text:span text:style-name='B'>
    <text:span text:style-name='C'>
      Hello
    </text:span>
  </text:span>
</text:p>

Assume that styles A, B and C have no parent styles and both A and B determine 
fo:font-size at 10 and 20 respectively. If I follow the instructions in 16.2, 
I would conclude that 'Hello' should be shown with font-size 10, since the 
instructions there say that if the style on the element does not define a 
property, next one should look at the style for the containing paragraph, 
thereby skipping style 'B'. That seems wrong to me.

This is the relevant instruction:
"For styles where the style:family attribute 19.478 has the value text, 
applied to an descendant elements of a paragraph which defines character 
content 6.1.1, the paragraph style applied to the paragraph containing those 
elements is searched for the formatting property."
