rsid* attributes

[Chris Rae]

I've actually already written up the DR and suggested that Ecma submit it. I think that the wording that already existed in the standard in the following paragraph looked like it satisfactorily covered the answer:

--
All rsid* attributes throughout this document with the same value, if present, shall indicate that those regions were modified during the same editing session (time between subsequent save actions).

A producer can choose to increment the revision save ID value to indicate subsequent editing sessions to indicate the order of the modifications relative to other modifications in this document.
--

The text is copy-pasted into each of the attributes, which isn't ideal, but I couldn't think of a better place to put it.

And we can have an interesting time defining "editing session" normatively - perhaps we needn't be so prescriptive, but leave this as an implementation-dependant (/defined) feature. But the current wording is out-of-sync with what Word does and with what is implied elsewhere in the text ...
