    Discussion of Work Package 6.3 Other Graphical Content
    ------------------------------------------------------
    The TC discussed the suggestion made by Michael Brauer in 
    http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office/200306/msg00014.html:
    - The TC unanimously agreed to add the SVG gradient specification to the 
    Open Office XML format as suggested in proposal a) of that mail.
    - The TC discussed whether the <draw:transparency> element should be 
    renamed to <draw:opacity>. A decision depends on whether the terms 
    �transparency� and �opacity� are used elsewhere in the specification. 
    Michael Brauer will clarify this.
    - The TC unanimously agreed to move further discussions and extension of 
    gradients to the 2nd TC phase, and to contact the SVG working group to 
    coordinate such gradient extensions.

    The TC unanimously agreed to move discussions about multiple stroked per 
    shape and clip regions into the 2nd TC phase.

    that have been agreed already.
