------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu May 29 10:47:49 +0000 2008 ------- I can understand that the internal data structures may have to be changed to support in-place editing, introducing field marks as detailed in the blog post linked to in one of the comments, but that is no reason to introduce them into ODF. Lack of in-place editing is not a shortcoming of the ODF format. There's no technical reason (aside from choosing the path of least resistance) why OOo's internal data structures need to map 1:1 onto the ODF file format, and extensions such as this break confidence in the standard and hurt interoperability. If ODF is to be taken seriously, then we mustn't have the same situation with OOo that we have with Word, namely that only the latest version of OOo is capable of reading all ODF files properly. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
