  • 1.  Fwd: [dev-biblio] metadata implementation ideas

    Interesting question about what to do with the existing element for
    citations. I see a few options:
    
    1) deprecate it in ODF and associated implementations (AFAIK, only OOo
    supports it) in favor of text:meta-field
    
    2) change it to accept xml:id and behave like text:meta-field.
    
    My hunch is 1 is preferable. Any thoughts?

    Well, I really don't like different elements with the same 
    semantics/behavior as defined by a standard. It is an unnecessary 
    complication.
    
    ODF 1.2 should deprecate it. With a note that it will not survive in ODF 
    1.3. Just as fair warning.
    
    Hope you are having a great day!
