Hi,

In case it is not clear where conventions arise in conjunction with
prefixes on XML qualified names, it is the namespace that is bound to
the prefix that establishes the convention.  The prefix choice is
relatively arbitrary (but one must avoid unintentional collision with
a prefix that is already in use).

Presumably the qualified attribute name prefix "drawooo" is bound to
a namespace that is not one specified by any of the OASIS Standards
for ODF.  It is necessary to know what that namespace is and where is
the authority that specifies what its local terms (such as
enhanced-path) are and what the rules for the attribute value are.
Assuming there is such a specification available, the namespace
becomes reusable by other parties who want to implement the same
feature.

The used namespace is
http://openoffice.org/2010/draw
AOO has the token XML_N_DRAW_EXT for it, but I don't know where it is used.


Since it is an extension, and ODF 1.2 consumers are allowed to ignore
any "foreign" attribute names and their values, it is also useful to
know what the fall-back is in this case.  There is supposed to be a
valid document remaining after the attribute is ignored.

I have done some further tests with LibreOffice and it seems that the implementation there is not finished, see https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=61028

I have not tried it yet, but I think, that an import of the OOXML element custGeom with attribute arcTo would be possible using the existing draw:enhanced-path element with the command T.

Kind regards
Regina
