    File Name Extensions and MIME types
    -----------------------------------
    The TC continued its discussions regarding MIME types and extensions. 
    The TC identified the following issues:
    - The registration authority is IANA and not the TC. The Open Office 
    specification therefor can only contain a list of MIME types that are 
    registered at the time the specification is published.
    - How do we avoid that different vendors register multiple open office 
    related MIME types/extensions for the same purpose?
    - How can we ensure that readers of the specification understand that 
    they can register their own MIME types?
    - How can we ensure that the Open Office TC notices if new open office 
    related MIME types get registered.
    
    While there seems to be no solution that addresses all these issues, the 
    TC agreed to
    - add a link to the registration procedure described RFC2048 to the 
    specification;
    - move the list of MIME types into an non normative appendix;
    - state in the specification that this list of MIME types only a 
    snapshot of what is registered at the time the specification is 
    published (or contains the MIME types the TC intends to register 
    itself), but that the full list is available following the instructions 
    described in RFC2048 only.
    
    The TC further agreed to add the non-basic MIME types/extensions 
    described in 
    http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office/200408/msg00004.html to the 
    list of MIME types it intents to register.
    
    
    Margin
    ------
    The TC unanimously agreed to add the fo:margin property to the 
    specification as proposed in 
    http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office/200408/msg00010.html.
    
    
    Order of style elements
    -----------------------
    As proposed in 
    http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office/200408/msg00011.html, the TC 
    unanimously agreed that the various style elements may occur in any 
    order within the <office:styles> and <office:automatic-styles> elements.
    
    
    New Action Items
    ----------------
    none
