Certainly, I would be jumping the gun if I stopped working on ODF 1.2 and
started working on ODF-Next. But we do have some new members, just
joining now, who are not working on ODF 1.2, and are interested in getting
a head-start on the changing tracking proposal.
And note, we created the Metadata SC and the Formula SC when we were only
half-way through the ODF 1.1 work. At that time as well, it was a way of
taking advantage of the enthusiasm of new participants (like David
Wheeler) while the rest of us finished up ODF 1.1 work, a release mainly
focused on accessibility.
So I think there is some precedent for this.
But I certainly wouldn't want to presume to speak for the TC on what the
contents of ODF-Next should be, at least not at this point. But does
anyone have any doubt whether change tracking should be a priority?
