OOXML extension for Japanese Layout Requirements

[MURATA Makoto (FAMILY Given)]

Dear colleagues,

To show the size of changes rquired for supporting kihonhanmen-based
page specifications, I created a RNC schema for the new elements and
attributes, and also created an NVDL script for combing this schema 
and the original 29500 schemas.  I would argue that the required changes 
are surprisingly small (1 elemenet and a few attributes) and make
Japanese users much happier.


1) kihonhanmen.rnc 

This schema includes "shared-commonSimpleTypes.rnc", which appears in 
the RNC version of the 29500 schemas.

default namespace = "http://www.example.com/asianLayout"
namespace w = "http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/wordprocessingml/2006/main"
include "shared-commonSimpleTypes.rnc"

start = element kihonHanmen {
attribute w:eastAsia { s_ST_String },
attribute LengthOfLine { xsd:int },
attribute NumberOfLinesPerPage { xsd:int },
attribute LineGap { xsd:int },
attribute horizontalPositioning  { "centering" | xsd:int },
attribute verticalPositioning { "centering" | xsd:int }
}

2) kihonhanmen.nvdl

This NVDL script references nested.nvdl, which appears in the latest 
zip in my mail http://mailman.vse.cz/pipermail/sc34wg4/2010-February/001201.html
