Here’s more feedback (which includes that circulated recently). Rex

 

 

 

Raised because of problems

 

17-0016                                SML: Reference Sequence (sqref) Examples?     

17-0017                                SML: Column Width and Formatting       

17-0029                                SML: Quoting of Worksheet Names Containing Periods 

2018-09-04 Alfred Hellstern:

Alfred Hellstern: For the new questions in Charlie’s last comment, it would be better to open a new request since they are more broad than the original request and represent an increase in scope.

 

Response from our product team:

In his most recent comment, Charlie mentioned the original ask has been resolved. One clarification that can be made is to the EBNF to indicate that the first character of an unquoted name should be further restricted to also exclude ‘.’ and 0-9. 

There were additional questions from Charlie, I’m waiting for more info from our product team

18-0009                                DML: 2D-Transforms     

2018-09-07 Alfred Hellstern:

Product team will look into this next quarter

 

18-0010                                SML: Optional spans and r attributes in sheet rows and cells?    

18-0011                                SML: Tables and Query Tables   

 

Raised by reviewing ISO/IEC 29500

 

15-0020                WML: Make clear where in transitional WML can VML occur

2018-09-07 Alfred Hellstern:

Response from our product team:

1)     shapeDefaults – standard states only vml-officeDrawing.xsd is allowed. Schema is consistent with this.

2)     hdrShapeDefaults – standard states only vml-officeDrawing.xsd is allowed. Schema is consistent with this.

3)     pict- need to investigate code to determine if it’s possible to write out both vml.xsd and vml-officeDrawing.xsd. Schema allows both namespaces, but standard indicates only vml.xsd is allowed.

4)     background- proposal is to insert a new section between 14.1 and 14.2 called Main Document Story that includes a new item describing use of VML for the background element, indicating that vml.xsd and vml-officeDrawing.xsd are allowed. This is consistent with the schema. I agree.

5)     object- proposal is to insert a new section after 14.3.2, to describe VML for object element, indicating that vml.xsd and vml-officeDrawing.xsd are allowed. This is consistent with the schema. I agree.

6)     Pml.xsd and sml.xsd- I’m not sure about this portion of the DR. Those appear to be related to PPT and XL Strict XML? (Correct me if I’m wrong here).

So I think we need to investigate 3) a little more, and I need help understanding whether 6) is really an item for us?

 

 

17-0002                PML:?sld?is missing its attributes

2018-09-07 Alfred Hellstern:

Response from our product team:

The DR refers to the three references to “sld”, and details confusion about what is defined where. The MS experts went through the documentation and it seems like everything is in fact correctly documented, but with the below errors/exceptions:

 

1.      19.3.1.38 needs to have its title and description updated. The existing description text should be removed as it incorrectly refers to another part.

a.      Title: sld (Presentation Slide)

b.      Description: This element specifies an instance of a presentation slide. Within a presentation slide are contained all elements that describe the objects and their corresponding formatting.

2.      19.2.1.31 needs to have its title updated.

a.      Title: sld (Slide Relationship Entry)

3.      19.2.2.14 needs to have its title updated

a.      Title: sld (Outline Slide Relationship Entry)

 

17-0004                DML: element?nvContentPartPr?exists in the schema but not in prose

2018-09-04 Alfred Hellstern:

Product team will look into this next quarter

 

17-0008                Shared ML:?version?attribute of?vstream?is missing from prose

2018-09-04 Alfred Hellstern:

Response from our product team:

It needs to be documented as a GUID string and something like “version is arbitrary and defined by the author of the specific property”.

 

17-0013                SML: Make clear where in transitional SML can VML occur           

17-0014                PML: Make clear where in transitional PML can VML occur

2018-09-07 Alfred Hellstern:

Response from our product team:

              The answer to the question whether “VML in PML documents can occur only in vmlDrawing.xml?”, then the answer is “Yes”.

 

17-0021                DML: wild cards in the complex type CT_GraphicalObjectData of dml-main.xsd and dml-main.rnc
