This set of GB defect reports relate to the Document Conformance clause in Part 1.  DR-09-0317 also talked about the issue identified in DR-0315, so I'd like to address that issue ( MCE preprocessing ) via that DR.

Here is my proposed marked-up text:

2.4      Document Conformance
Document conformance is purely syntactic; it involves only Items 1 and 2 in §2.3 above.

An Office Open XML document is conformant to this part of ISO/IEC 29500 if all of the following conditions hold:


·         A conforming Office Open XML document shall conform to the transitional W3C XML Schema or the strict W3C XML Schema (Item 1) after the evaluation of any extensibility mechanisms described by ISO/IEC 29500-3, and any additional syntax constraints (Item 2).

·         The Office Open XML document shall be of category Wordprocessing, Spreadsheet, or Presentation.

·         The Office Open XML document character set shall conform to the Unicode Standard and ISO/IEC 10646:2003, with either the UTF-8 or UTF-16 encoding form, as required by the XML 1.0 standard.

·         Any XML element or attribute not explicitly included in ISO/IEC 29500 shall use the extensibility mechanisms described by ISO/IEC 29500-1 and ISO/IEC 29500-3.
Each Part of this multi-part standard has its own conformance clause. The term conformance class is used to disambiguate conformance within different Parts of this multi-part standard. This Part of ISO/IEC 29500 defines the following document conformance classes:


·         WML Strict, if the Office Open XML document is a conforming document of category Wordprocessing that conforms to the strict schema and does not include any features from Part 4.

·         SML Strict, if the Office Open XML document is a conforming document of category Spreadsheet that conforms to the strict schema and does not include any features from Part 4.

·         PML Strict, if the Office Open XML document is a conforming document of category Presentation that conforms to the strict schema and does not include any features from Part 4.
In addition, Office Open XML documents of conformance class WML Strict, SML Strict, or PML Strict shall not embed documents of conformance class WML Transitional, SML Transitional, or PML Transitional as defined in Part 4.

Document categories Wordprocessing, Spreadsheet, and Presentation are defined in §4.

[Note: Other document conformance classes could be defined in the future. end note]

[Note: A document cannot be of more than one of the above conformance classes. end note]
