    4. SC Status
    
    Metadata
    (patrick) started writing requirements for usescases. nearing final set
    of reqs for bib use-cases from bruce
    we needed to switch meeting time due to bruce's teaching commitments
    adding enhanced searching and collaborative editing
    
    Formula
    (david) we got comments on the syntax, walk through those, thanks
    reposted comments on SC list
    will write responses
    have weekly updates as folks work the various functions
    lots of misinformation about ODF and open formula
    hence rob and I have build wiki page with content setting things right
    
    5. Comments for ODF 1.1
    
    links to comments on wiki page
    
    soft page breaks comment from Malte,
    current text says "specifies whether doc contains page breaks" should
    read "contains soft page breaks"
    (michael) anyone thinks this is substantial change?
    personally don't think so,
    (lars)it's a clarification of what we meant when we came up with the
    proposal
    - no objection -
    RESOLUTION: change this after review. not a substantial page
    
    (michael) ... provides facility to torn on/off page breaks is not clear
    whether this is regarding to import and export. proposal is to add
    "export of"  to clarify
    (michael) any objections to change this as requested as a
    non-substantial change?
    -no objection -
    RESOLUTION: edit the specification accordingly.
    
    (michael) comments from daniel carrera regarding change tracking
    1. typo math<->match is editorial.
    
    2. example is wrong. in the third example, the result contains a text:h
    where it should say text:p
    any objection correcting this as unsubstantial change?
    - no objections -
    RESOLUTION: correct example for change tracking as unsubstantial channge
    
    3. another error in example, similar to previous. deletion contains
    text:p, but result after rejection contains text:h
    either change deletion or change result
    propose to change the deletion part of the example to be consistent with
    what the example says should be the result after the rejection.
    - no objection -
    RESOLUTION: fix example
    
    4. description of deletion element. if text is removed, it is wrapped
    into text:p or text:h elements. p.80 describes to insert the deletion at
    the position of a delete-mark as if start/end tags were missing ... ???
    
    end tag must be adepted to start tag
    not sure that if we change this it would be unsubstantial
    should be obvious once one tries to implement
    (lars) anyone thins that this is substantial
    (david) I'd think it's an errata. did anyone implement it that way
    (lars) I agree
    (david) anyone objecting calling this an erratum (editorial change)
    - no objection -
    RESOLUTION: note an erratum and correct the specification (editorial change)
    
    (michael) no more comments so far
    and last agenda item
    patrick, is there an update on the disposition report
    (patrick) it has been submitted to ISO
    will be sent out for publication when disposition ballot is done
    
    (michael) any other topics
    (david) I'd like to repeat my plea for people to help with function
    description
    (michael) did more people join
    (david) yes, and we are making progress, e.g. complex number functions
