OPC Core Properties -- WAS: My latest draft of OPC

[MURATA Makoto]

Caroline,

I think that the existing clause of core properties is short
of providing normative definitions.  For example, the existing
table of core properties does not make clear that the creator
element can have no child elements.  Where is this requirement
specified?  It is in "11.4 Schema Restrictions for Core
Properties".  The same applies to the xml:lang attribute.  It
is allowed only for the keywords element and the value
element, but this requirement is shown in "11.4 Schema
Restrictions for Core Properties" only.  I don' think that
this is the right approach.

Here is my proposed rewrite of this entire clause.
