Re: [office] PAS Submission of OASIS ODF v1.2 to JTC 1: RERs set complete?

Thanks very much to you and the whole TC team for all the production work to optimize this submission.

Multiple experts advised us that JTC 1's tweaked RER/bibliography rules have recently been elevated to close enforcement scrutiny -- best to comply as fully as possible. 

Cordially JBC

Hi Jamie,

We're proposing to go with a slightly
different list of RERs, for ZIP,  Blowfish, Dublin Core and OLE2,
which are the least "standard" of the set, and the ones which
would most benefit from this additional documentation.   The OLE2
one has been reviewed by Microsoft and approved by the TC.  PKWare
has reviewed the ZIP one and the TC has approved.  

The other two have been reviewed/approved
tentatively by the TC but are awaiting a response from the specification
owners (Bruce Schneier and the DCMI).   I'd give these another week.
 

We have the option to go forward even
without a response (in the RER form we can note that we sent a copy to
them but did not hear back) but it would be preferable to have a explicit
response.

Regards,
