This inference of changes using buckets gets stickier when one considers captions. The below was generated by OpenOffice for a document where I inserted a small image and gave it a caption "captext". If one considers changes to style and then more intricate changes inside the text:p, the runtime xml diff of ECT buckets becomes somewhat complex just so an application can show the user the changes to a caption.

      <text:p text:style-name="Standard">
        <draw:frame draw:style-name="fr1" draw:name="Frame1" text:anchor-type="paragraph" svg:width="2.709cm" draw:z-index="0">
          <draw:text-box fo:min-height="4.817cm">
            <text:p text:style-name="Illustration"><draw:frame draw:style-name="fr2" draw:name="graphics1" text:anchor-type="paragraph" svg:x="0.004cm" svg:y="0.002cm" svg:width="2.709cm" style:rel-width="100%" svg:height="4.817cm" style:rel-height="scale" draw:z-index="1"><draw:image xlink:href="javascript:void(0);" xlink:type="simple" xlink:show="embed" xlink:actuate="onLoad"/></draw:frame>Illustration <text:sequence text:ref-name="refIllustration0" text:name="Illustration" text:formula="ooow:Illustration+1" style:num-format="1">1</text:sequence>: captext</text:p>
          </draw:text-box>
        </draw:frame>
      </text:p>

On the other hand, the text:p here and in other places of and ODF file could all be tracked the same way in the GCT. The application gets to be able to show the changes to a caption just as it does an edit to a table cell, just as it does an edit to the first paragraph in the body of the document.

That's what OOo currently does. There is no difference (neither in the generated xml nor in the internal structures) if you change the caption text:p or any other paragraph in the document.

Regards,

Frank
