    Discussion of Work Package 5.3 Style Properties
    -----------------------------------------------
    The TC discussed table formatting properties as described in section 
    4.18 of the OpenOffice.org XML specification.
    
    The TC discussed the behavior of tables that have incomplete or empty 
    rows. Daniel clarified in
    
    http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office/200310/msg00011.html
    
    that there is a different but reasonable behavior for the different kind 
    of applications (word processor, spreadsheet, etc.). The TC agreed to 
    add this clarification to the specification document.
    
    The TC discussed David's proposals for table templates
    
    http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office/200310/msg00003.html
    
    The TC unanimously agreed to David's 2nd proposal with the following 
    modifications:
    - The table:topleftcorner, etc. attributes will be called 
    table:top-begin-corner etc. The attribute's values will be "row" and 
    "column".
    - Child elements <table:even-rows>, <table:odd-rows>, 
    <table:even-columns> and <table:odd-columns> will be added that allow 
    specifying alternating styles for rows and columns.
    - table templates will be located within the <style:master-styles> element.
    As clarified by Paul, XSL-FO does not support table border 
    specifications based on row and column groups (see 
    http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office/200310/msg00004.html).
    
    The TC further agreed to clarify the two concepts of table row and 
    column groups (see 
    http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office/200310/msg00006.html) in the 
    specification and to keep the table properties unchanged with the 
    exception of changes agreed so far.
    
    The TC started to discuss pages and page properties. It agreed to rename 
    the <style:page-master> element to <style:page-layout> to avoid 
    confusion with the <style:master-page> element.
    
    The TC further agreed to allow text documents to contain no paragraphs 
    but only frames. It further clarified that linked sections can be used 
    within text boxes to achieve that the text boxes have the same content.
    
    The TC started a discussion whether additional information than the 
    specification documents and minutes should be provided on the TC's web 
    page. Michael clarified that additional content for the web pages is 
    welcome. The discussion will be continued in the next meeting.
    
    
    New Action Items
    ----------------
    none
