    TC con call start time
    ----------------------
    In US, Canada and Europe daylight saving times end at October the 26th. 
    The TC agreed to move the con call's GMT start time to 4pm (and to leave 
    the local times in US, Canada and Europe unchanged) for the meeting on 
    October, the 27th. It further agreed to discuss on the TC's mailing list 
    whether all con calls should start at that time, or whether the TC 
    returns to a 4pm/7pm GMT biweekly schedule.
    
    
    Discussion of Work Package 5.3 Style Properties
    -----------------------------------------------
    The TC continued the discussion of fixed (or "DTP") page layouts based 
    on David's proposal. It discussed whether a new "DTP" document type for 
    fixed page layout is an option and whether the master page specification 
    could be enhanced to support a certain page sequence without requiring a 
    new document type or a "DTP" flag that changes the behavior of empty 
    paragraphs. A page sequence based solution was considered to be most 
    reasonable. Daniel Vogelheim will create a proposal for this.
    
    With the exception of the "DTP" page layout issue, the TC agreed to keep 
    to page specifications unchanged.
    
    Discussion of Work Package 5.4 Special Styles
    ---------------------------------------------
    The TC continued the discussion of footnote and endnote configurations. 
    The TC agreed to clarify in the specification that presentation notes 
    have to support text only. The TC also agreed to the proposal for a 
    merged foot-/endnote configuration and to keep the rest of the 
    foot-/endnote configuration unchanged.
    
    The discussion of bibliography configurations has been moved to the next 
    con call. Daniel Vogelheim will collect further details about the 
    specification.
    
    The TC continued the discussion of list and outline styles. The TC 
    agreed to the proposal to add a "style:default-outline-level" attribute 
    to paragraph styles (see 
    http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office/200310/msg00018.html) and 
    agreed to rename the <text:h> element's "text:level" attribute to 
    "text:outline-level".
    
    The TC continued the discussion of multiple outline styles that are used 
    simultaneously in a document. A use case for this is for instance an 
    appendix that uses a different numbering than the main document. It has 
    been discussed whether this could be achieved with the current schema by 
    adding the possibility to specify a regular numbering style in a 
    heading's paragraph style. Michael Brauer will further investigate this.
    
    New Action Items
    ----------------
    - Daniel Vogelheim: Proposal for page sequences
    - Daniel Vogelheim: Collect information regarding bibliography
        configurations
    - Michael Brauer: Investigate whether regular numberings can be
        applied to headings.
