This is a best glossed-over. * page 17, validation: what's the algorithmic complexity of the XSLT script extracting one version - are we running into quadratic-or-worse cases here? * 9.1 - that's something this SC (or the TC) should decide - proposal: define a minimal milestone, but don't exclude wider scope apriori * 9.2 - nonsense - it was already assessed that both proposals break backward compat? * 9.3 - rephrase - "take GCT or ECT?" - or drop the question * 9.4 - drop, or finish page 9, 3rd paragraph - "The mechanism for this is outlined in the proposal (the way that the host schema would be changed to include change tracking) but the details of this would need further work." * 9.5 - see above. Change tracking has a very well-defined meaning in existing odf processing apps * 9.6 - why the heck is the *TC* asking *that* question to the general public? * 9.7 - lost on me. That would need outlining the advantages, probably - or it's a red herring * 9.9 - the implications of that question are all but clear to the casual reader. Expect no informed answer. Please also note that my fundamental objection to approve this, without giving further room to the OT collab proposals, still stands.
