Time for Provisional Identifiers? (was RE: [office] Evolving ODF, Interop and Multiple Implementations)

  • 1.  Time for Provisional Identifiers? (was RE: [office] Evolving ODF, Interop and Multiple Implementations)

    I have two proposals for ODF 1.3 that could benefit from having provisional identifiers established. These provisional identifiers would be for the following proposed official identifiers: For ODF 1.3 Protection-Key Enhancements ( https://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/OFFICE-3703 ) To be reserved: http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/office/1.3/protection#authz160 http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/office/1.3/protection#sha1dk Possible Experimental/Provision namespace for corresponding implementation-defined use in ODF 1.2: http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/office/1.2/x-protection# For ODF 1.3 Package Encryption Enhancements ( https://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/OFFICE-3709 ): To be reserved: http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/office/1.3/security#sha1-shaken Possible Experimental/Provisional namespace for corresponding extended-package use in ODF 1.2: http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/office/1.2/x-security# [Note: The use of http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#hmac-sha1 as an extended value for the manifest:checksum-type attribute does not require an OASIS-defined namespace.] At the time that CSDs of ODF 1.3 Part 1 and ODF 1.3 Part 3 reflect these proposals, a CND could be produced that establishes the experimental use for ODF 1.2 producers and consumers. [Note: An anticipatory experimental consumer could accept both forms of identifiers but only produce the experimental identifier in ODF 1.2 documents. An ODF 1.3 consumer could also accept both identifiers but only produce the official form. In the event that the official form is never ratified, an ODF 1.3 consumer could continue to produce the experimental identifier in ODF 1.2 (extended) documents and in ODF 1.3 (extended) documents, ad lib.] - Dennis
