    Subject: Re: [office] Open Office XML Format TC Meeting Agenda 18 August 2003


    Dear TC members,
    
    several suggestion regarding text formatting properties have been made 
    on the TC's mailing list. I would like to summarize them for todays con 
    call.
    
    
    Window Font Color/style:use-window-font-color
    ---------------------------------------------
    The style:use-window-font-color has been clarified on the list. See
    http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office/200308/msg00022.html
    
    
    Text Decorations/style:text-underline,style:text-crossing-out
    -------------------------------------------------------------
    There is a proposal from David Faure to enhance these properties:
    
    http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office/200308/msg00020.html
    
    Paul Grosso suggested to also consider the CSS3 specification
    
    http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-text/#text-decoration-overview
    
    if these attributes are redefined.
    
    
    Text alignment/fo:text-align
    ----------------------------
    There is a proposal from David Faure to either add an "automatic" value 
    to this attribute or to add a new attribute. Both of them would specify 
    that a paragraph is either left or right aligned, depending on whether 
    the first character of a paragarph belongs to a LTR or RTL language. See
    
    http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office/200308/msg00020.html
    
    
    Tab stop/style:tab-stop
    -----------------------
    There is a proposal from David Faure to specify the leading character 
    not (only) as a character, but also as an (under)line style like none, 
    dots, plain line, dash, dash-dot, dash-dot-dot. See
    
    http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office/200308/msg00020.html
    
    
    style:keep-with-next/style:keep-with-previous
    ---------------------------------------------
    The specification for these attributes is wrong. They both are part of 
    the fo namepspace rather than the style namespace.
    
    
    Line Break
    ----------
    style:line-break has been clarified on the list. See
    
    http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office/200308/msg00018.html
    
    
    style:line-break, style:punctuation-wrap and style:text-autospace
    -----------------------------------------------------------------
    All three properties are paragraph properties rather than text properties.
    
    
    Asian font properties/fo:*-asian,style:*-complex
    ------------------------------------------------
    The specification for these attributes is wrong. They all are part of 
    the style namespace rather than the fo namespace.
    
    In addition to this, these attributes might be difficult to process in 
    XSLT transformations. See
    
    http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office/200308/msg00023.html
    
    
    RTL/LTR property/style:writing-mode
    -----------------------------------
    This attribute is in the DTD, but a specification for this attribute is 
    missing. See
    
    http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office/200308/msg00023.html
    
    
    style:text-background-color
    ---------------------------
    There is a proposal from Michael Brauer to remove this attribute since 
    fo:background-color is sufficient.
    
    
    Font Declarations
    -----------------
    I currently has an action item for including CSS2's @font-face 
    declaration. Unfortunately, I will not be able to finish it today. An 
    intermdiate state however is that it seems to be reasonable to me to 
    adopt the SVG font-face element, that is already an adopted CSS2 
    @font-face declaration, and to add additional office suite features if 
    required.
    
    Adopting the SVG font-face element might have influences on the 
    specifications of style:font-style-name, style:font-family-generic, 
    style:font-pitch and style:font-charset attributes.
    
    
    I hope I didn't forget anything.
    
    Best regards
    
    Michael
