principle of enshrining formal names in attribute type names, you’d have to add
‘relyOnXXX’ for every conceivable output format XXX for which a similar feature
needed to be added. Can you explain why a special attribute is needed for VML
that is not needed for other formats (e.g. EPSF, SVG,…)?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>It does seem odd to me to accord
VML a special status in Part 1, by having an attribute that specifically refers
to it. On the other hand, it is entirely reasonable that applications that
support OOXML Strict should be able to store information in a document that
relates to specific formats other than OOXML Strict in which a document can be
saved. It would be more logical to use a more generic way of storing such information.
Isn’t this what MCE is for?<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, I would agree that the
existing feature needs to be available in OOXML Transitional for legacy
reasons, but I feel that a more generic alternative is needed for Strict. To my
mind, finding a way of doing this that uses what we already have in Parts 1 and
3 would be preferable to adding new features.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='color:#1F497D'>We are aware of the
details you provide below. 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>

Word would write out the end user preference into the binary and XML versions
of the document so that future publishing would use the previous setting.
And since the migration to Open XML was about preserving data found in those
