             Summary: Add new API to create protected section in TextDocument 
to protect contents 
                 Key: ODFTOOLKIT-346
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ODFTOOLKIT-346
             Project: ODF Toolkit
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: simple api
            Reporter: Kejia Ye


Propose to add a new API to create protected section, which can be used to 
prevent contents being modified in editors.

This feature may refers to three parts:

1. new API to create section in TextDocument.

2. new API to change the protection status of a section, and also allow user to 
specify a password.
   Regarding to the protection key digest algorithm, we can just provide the 
default one "SHA-1", which is also accepted by OpenOffice as its authentication 
procedure. An ProtectionKeyDigestProvider interface should be kept to let users 
define and extend other alternative algorithms.

3. support insert more contents into section in addition to paragraph.
   Some of the cotents, like image and textbox, is already supported by bonding 
to a paragraph. So we may need to implement other kind of objects, like table 
and list which are common used as well.
