    Dear TC members,
    
    following is my view on the proposal from Florian - see
    http://www.oasis-open.org/archives/office/200703/msg00202.html -
    considering the given requirements from Florian, Michael, Thomas and
    myself:
    
    ad F1:
    I think the proposal in general meets this requirement.
    But, I think there could be compatibility problems, because of the
    proposed change to attribute text:continue-numbering. I my view the
    ODF 1.0/1.1 specification is clear in this point and the change could
    result, that applications following this change will continue the
    numbering of a list, which isn't continued in an application following
    ODF 1.0/1.1
    
    ad F2 and F3:
    I don't know, if the proposal meets these requirements, because I
    don't know, what kind of "legacy" documents exists. I know ODF 1.0/1.1
    documents created by OpenOffice.org, but I don't know documents
    created by other applications.
    As I already stated, I don't think that these requirements has to be
    fulfilled.
    
    ad F4:
    I don't think, that the proposal meets this requirement - please see
    below my example given for O10.
    As I already stated, I think this requirement interprets the ODF
    1.0/1.1 too strict. I would favor that the proposal has to fulfilled
    the less strict requirement O10.
    
    ad F5:
    As I already stated, I don't know, if I understand this requirement
    correct, because of the given examples.
    Thus, my comment here can only be, that I don't, if the proposal meets
    this requirement.
    
    ad F6:
    The proposal meets this requirement.
    
    Comment to the proposal:
    The samples for the list-override enhancement doesn't have to break
    the list structure by new
