    * Spreadsheet formula syntax
    there is demand for a standardized formula syntax. IBM has been looking
    into this issue. Nathaniel will review the work of David Wheeler who
    first brought this issue to the TC.  David, Nathaniel and Lars will work
    on a further roadmap for this topic.
    
    * custom schema
    there have been numerous requests in this direction and a use case
    analysis is required
    
    * conformance specification/clearification
    it has been agreed in a previous con call that the conformance section
    should be revisited to check if enhanced conformance rules are of benefit.
    
    * character level borders
    a proposal for new border attributes is expected from the KOffice team
    next week
    
    * database document type
    a proposal for a document format for databases is expected from
    OpenOffice.org developers in two weeks
