    * Last Minutes
    The attending TC members unanimously accepted the minutes
    
    * Action Items
    Michael: Permanent URL for uploaded documents
       not possible
       approved documents can be moved to http://docs.oasis-open.org
       alternative is to refer to TC page from the document
    Michael: How to reference A11Y guidelines from TC page
       many standards list "related documents"
       once the document is approved we can request to add it as an 
    additional document
    
    * Status
    Michael uploaded draft-4 of the 1.2 specification. Patrick had worked 
    through the first seven chapters and suggested some changes. We have not 
    yet integrated the proposals but we will continue with the editing over 
    the next days/weeks and post updated drafts.
    
    * SC status update
    A11Y:
    SC working on guidelines document
    Guidelines will be published as independent document that will be 
    referenced from the main specification
    
    Meta:
    Svante and Patrick are working on the revised proposal
    Patrick's talk on the proposal was very well received at XTreme Markup 
    Languages Conference.
    
    Formula:
    Working on test cases
    Completing financial functions
    
    * Pending Proposals
    Revised annotations proposal:
    There should also be xml:id of the annotation attribute.
    Oliver: yes, we can add that
    -> no objections
    RESOLVED: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office/200708/msg00007.html
    
    * Preview Images
    Save thumbnails in PNG. Additional note concerning the size of the images.
    The note can certainly be revised later if we find a better wording. 
    Important point is to remove the size limitation from the normative text.
    -> no objections
    RESOLVED: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office/200708/msg00005.html
    
    * Chart data-label auto-positions
    Waiting for a revised proposal from KDE
    David will follow up with Bjoern from OO.o and work on resolving details 
    missing for a revised proposal -> ACTION
    
    * Layer sets per page
    David will forward Christian's reply to KDE developers
    
    * Other Topics
    Revised conformance section
    Michael will propose some new wording
    Suggestions from others are very welcome
    OASIS requires numbered conformance statements in the conformance 
    section of the specific
    
    * table-cell content
    
    Its up to an application what is supported in a table-cell. We are just 
    providing the schema. We are not constraining that in the specification.
    Maybe that is not a satisfactory answer for application interoperability
    We have mentioned conformance levels for an upcoming version. Maybe that 
    could help also with this issue...
    We might have a note in the spec stating, that spreadsheet applications 
    as we know them do not support tables as table-cell content
    Generally a note should only explain what is written in the standard. 
    It's certainly possible...
    We need to think more about this and find a clean solution
    
    Next call will be a work
