Jan asks good questions below.
I have a comment with regard to (3) "Will the OOXML implementation allow
round-trip of our documents without loss of information?"
It strikes me that there are OOXML import and export capabilities already in
Apache OpenOffice and a better question may have to do with whether those
capabilities will satisfy condition (3) and how can they be improved to do so.
I am assuming that Jan is considering more than AOO round-tripping with itself,
although it would be strange were that not already true. The trick is
round-tripping with other implementations of OOXML, perhaps, including the
OOXML support of the AOO cousin, LibreOffice?
I note that the current support is not being mentioned in this discussion so
far. I think it may be that is related to the focus on implementations for
mobile devices and other non-desktop solutions. It's not clear though.

Subject: Ongoing OOXML development and "implementation defined" items.
Hi.
Based on the information from dennis/peter, I think it would be highly
interesting to know:
1) How are the "implementation defined" items implemented, is the intention
to forward a list to dev@ and ask for opinions (of course in a style so an
opinion is possible to give) ?
2) How will the "implementation defined" items, be documented, they are
likely to change over time, to its problaly a poing where maintenance is
needed, and thus a higher demand on documentation ?
3) Will the OOXML implementation allow round-trip of our documents without
loss of information ?
unlike the sidebar development, this develoment seems closed, I expect
there are good reasons for it, but items where many can have an opinion
(format conversion being a typical example) would be nice to discuss.
thanks in advance.
