    Discussion of Work Package 3.3.1 Basics (of inside a paragraphs)
    ----------------------------------------------------------------
    The TC members unanimously agreed to the existing specification of the 
    "text:span", "text:a", "text:s", "text:tab" (formerly "text:tab-stop") 
    and "text:line-break", that is the OpenOffice.org specification, with 
    the exception of "text:tab-stop", that will be renamed to "text:tab" and 
    gets an option attribute indicating the tab stop position that is 
    actually referenced.
    
    The TC's decision expressly does not include a decision whether similar 
    elements, like one for a back-tabulator", are required.

    -------------------------------------------------------
    The TC discussed to replace the concepts of footnotes and endnotes with 
    a more general concept of notes that might be displayed at various 
    location, maybe also including side notes. Phil Boutros will make a 
    proposal for this. A decision has been postponed until the next meeting.
