    Hi Patrick,
    
    I guess this depends on whether your proposal is for Approved Errata 02 or 
    only for ODF 1.2.
    
    We can't make a specific syntax requirement here for Approved Errata 
    unless it we are sure that this change would not cause existing conformant 
    implementations to be non-conformant.   That is why I suggested removing 
    the "typical syntax" altogether.    Obviously this is far from ideal, but 
    such are the limitations of OASIS errata.
    
    For ODF 1.2, I'd probably go with:
    
    "The value of this attribute shall be a string consisting of an optional 
    namespace prefix followed by a Boolean expression."
    
    Going forward do we really need to support the no prefix case?
    
    -Rob
