Conformance class attribute proposal (DR 08-0012)

[Jesper Lund Stocholm]

Hi Guys,

Mohamed, Jirka

Thanks for your contribution. I completely agree to your proposal. ODF
uses the string as well to restrict the version attribute of the
document element

<attribute name="office:version">
  <ref name="string"/>
</attribute>
