Third Batch Of Proposed DIS29500 Dispositions Posted
23 December 2007 by oliverA very quick update for the various technical teams working on OpenXML around the region.
The third batch of proposed technical dispositions of the comments for OpenXML have been published on the Ecma International web site for review by the National Standards Bodies and their representatives.
As with the last batch, there are some pretty substantial changes proposed, Brian Jones has the full information in a post over on his blog.
From Brian’s post;
At a high level, we’re responding to feedback that requested simplification for those people who only wanted to implement a subset of the spec. We are also removing from the main specification functionality that is necessary for completeness but is not necessarily appropriate for documents created in the future. We’re moving that functionality to an annex. And finally, we fixed some concerns that National Bodies had about how to handle some legacy issues, Dates in particular with the infamous “date leap bug”.
