I can at least point out what is missing from the spec...

* Handling of different languages
  As Sophie already pointed out, not all languages are officially
  released at the same time. Native-language teams do QA independently
  and not for all operating systems.
  * What criteria defines when a update is ready for the check to return
    "yes, update ready"?
  * What URL will be returned? 
    One single one or an URL depending on the language? (and when
    language - the language of the base version or that of the
    currently used language (languagepack))
    Individual URLs depending on OS/Platfrom/Language?
    (not necessarily part of spec, but nice to know anyway)
  * While not necessarily part of the spec: Who will be able to update
    the versions? E.g. how will non-Sun-built versions be handled? Will
    they be able to use the OOo-Update-URL as well? Who maintains/has
    access to the version-info-table/database/whatever is used?

* Handling of language packs
  * How does OOo detect installed language packs in the first place?
    The variable "AllLanguages" from versionrc doesn't include it.
    (so the query sent only includes the "base" language)
  * What if not all languages are availabe in the updated version or in
    two different newer versions?

ciao
Christian
