    TC con call start time
    ----------------------
    No objections regarding a weekly 4pm GMT con call start time have been 
    raised on the TC's list so far. For this reason, the TC agreed to start 
    the November the 3rd meeting at 4pm GMT as well, but leaves it open to 
    switch to the bi-weekly 4pm/7pm schedule at a later date.
    
    
    Discussion of Work Package 5.3 Style Properties
    -----------------------------------------------
    The TC unanimously agreed to Daniels's proposal for pages sequences (see 
    http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office/200310/msg00031.html and 
    http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office/200310/msg00032.html). The 
    page sequence element <text:page-sequence> will be contained in the 
    document body of text document, and it will reference master pages (i.e. 
    <style:master-page> elements). To avoid conflicts with master page infos 
    contained in the main text flow, a text document will either contain a 
    main text flow, or a page sequence, but not both simultaneously. That 
    is, the <office:body> element will either contain <text:p>, <text:h>, 
    <table:table> elements etc., or an <text:page-sequence> element. Text 
    boxes, images, etc. are allowed in both situations.
    
    
    Discussion of Work Package 5.4 Special Styles
    ---------------------------------------------
    The TC agreed to vote about bibliography configurations by e-mail.
    
    The TC continued the discussion of multiple outline styles that are used 
    simultaneously in a document. It unanimously agreed to Michael's 
    proposal for evaluating numbering style information for headings and to 
    add "text:start-value" and "text:restart-numbering" attributes to the 
    "text:h" element (see 
    http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office/200310/msg00033.html).
    
    The TC agreed to keep the special styles unchanged with the
    exception of changes agreed so far and the bibliography configurations 
    where the voting will take place by e-mail.
    
    Discussion of Work Package 5.5 Font Declarations
    ------------------------------------------------
    The TC has already agreed in it's 25 August 2003 con call to replace the 
    font declarations with SVG's/CSS2's font face declarations (see 
    http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office/200308/msg00034.html).
    
    Discussion of Work Package 5.6 Number Styles
    --------------------------------------------
    The TC discussed number styles that specify how numeric values should be 
    displayed. Such numeric values include numbers, but also dates and 
    times. Number styles can be applied to the content of table cells and 
    fields, and are referenced by a "style:data-style-name" attribute.
    
    The TC agreed that wherever number style can be referenced using a 
    "style:data-style-name" attribute, the attribute should be optional. If 
    no number style is referenced, a system and application specific format 
    will be used. The TC agreed that the specification editors will check 
    the occurrences of the attribute and turn it into an optional attribute 
    there this is not the case already.
    
    The TC unanimously agreed to keep the rest of the specification of 
    number styles unchanged.
    
    
    New Action Items
    ----------------
    - Michael Brauer: Prepare voting about bibliography configuration.
