[OASIS Issue Tracker] Commented: (OFFICE-3650) Public Comment:PRD02 Pt 1, dimensions of variability

Dennis Hamilton commented on OFFICE-3650:
-----------------------------------------

@Rob +1, That's my recollection as well.

I think that the note may have steered him off into the informative reference and it was easy to make too much of it.  

I am not sure that this can be more clear by adjusting the provision itself or by manipulating the note.

Consider this:

"An ODF Consumer shall use application settings to alter application behavior only within variability that is consistent with the provisions specified by this standard for any feature.

"Note: See [Variability] for examples of variations that can arise so long as explicit provisions are preserved."

I know we went round and round on this, but it would be good to not lead readers into assuming that [Variability] means anything dramatic in our situation.
