Remaining issues in ODF 1.2 draft

    Greetings!
    
    With the help of many contributions from the Sun team in particular, I 
    have resolved a number of the editorial notes in the current draft.
    
    That is not to say that I was able to resolve all of them.
    
    And, note that we have a number of "issues" pending from the public 
    comment list, which we are slowly covering in our meetings.
    
    I suppose to some degree I am like Rob Weir. I think that noting an 
    issue in the some 700+ pages of the current draft should be enough 
    notice to interest others in working on it. ;-) Apparently that is not 
    the case. Which is as much my fault as anyone's.
    
    So, for the issues that remain and/or that I have discovered in this 
    latest round of edits, I will be posting messages to the mailing list. 
    That should feed into Rob's issue tracking and to be honest, give us 
    better issue tracking than we have used to date.
    
    It will take some time to complete all the postings, in part because I 
    don't want to exhaust everyone.
    
    Whenever possible I will be listing a default position. That is a 
    resolution that I will insert into the text if no one offers a better 
    one or at least an objection to my proposal. That won't always be 
    possible but I will try.
    
    It will be a busy time but I think with some skillful use of email we 
    can complete the final push towards an ODF 1.2 public review draft.
    
    Hope everyone is at the start of a great week!
    
    Patrick
