dear QA people.
it has come to my attention that a bunch of ODF validation bugs were
mis-handled variously this week.
please note:
1. these bugs are about ODF files that LO writes that are not valid
according to the OASIS ODF specification; whether or not LO or any
other application can open the bugdoc without apparent loss of
content is not at all relevant and does not merit closing the bug
2. there should be one bug for each invalid element or attribute that is
written; these are most likely caused by entirely unrelated bugs in
the export filter, and resolving all of them as duplicate is about as
helpful as resolving all crash bugs as duplicate of a single "LO
crashes" bug
3. http://opendocumentfellowship.com/validator appears to
support only ODF 1.0 which makes it useless
4. apparently the only known web instance of the ODF Toolkit
ODF validator is currently down; therefore i've built the thing from
source and uploaded it here[1], you can run it via "java -jar
odfvalidator*.jar odf-file-or-directory..."; please note it defaults
to the "conforming" mode for 1.2 files so set your Office to version
"1.2" without extensions, or use "-e" option ("extended conforming")
5. please add "odf odf_validation" to the whiteboard if a validation
bug doesn't have these yet
thanks,
michael
