Our concern is that first of all, the attribute “sticks out” – even though it doesn’t mean that VML can be used within OOXML<S>. But we also feel that the attribute is redundant in OOXML<S>. VML cannot be used within OOXML<S> so being able to specify that the content should be “Saved to web” using VML – when VML cannot be used in OOXML<S> seems wrong. Further VML is a technology that is (browser-wise) only implemented in Microsoft Internet Explorer so RelyOnVml is a reference to a technology that only exists in a Microsoft product. And finally the existence of RelyOnVml in Part 1 makes a dependency to Part 4, since an application encountering this attribute with a value of “true” in a strict document will need to implement functionality from Part 4 to honor the original user’s intent.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>So yes, we still wish to have the attribute removed.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>:o)<o:p></o:p></span></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Jesper Lund Stocholm<br></span></b><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#363434'>c</span></b><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:purple'>i</span></b><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#363434'>ber</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:gray'> Danmark A/S</span><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div style='border:none;border-left:solid blue 1.5pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 4.0pt'><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> Shawn Villaron [mailto:shawnv@microsoft.com] <br><b>Sent:</b> 18. marts 2010 23:10<br><b>To:</b> 'SC 34 WG4'<br><b>Subject:</b> DR 09-0312 - WML: RelyOnVML<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=DA><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal>This is in regards to the DK defect report. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I believe that there may be a misunderstanding regarding the meaning of this element as it doesn’t relate to the BRM resolution regarding the limiting of VML to the Transitional conformance class.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Many applications have the ability to generate published versions of their documents that are optimized for viewing on the web.
