[odf-discuss] Missing info in the validator?

[Marco Fioretti]

I don't know if this is related to what Daniel says below.
Probably it isn't, in the sense that the problem is in
the validator and not in OO.o Anyway:

If you load in the online odf validator the document I mentioned last week in the
"Bug in the ODF viewer" message to this list:

http://politicadelsoftware.openlabs.it/files/regione-lombardia-pdl-software-libero.odt

you get:

Output of validation test file 'regione-lombardia-pdl-software-libero.odt'
This file is not Valid OpenDocument 1.0!

   1. error
      in content.xml
      Element text has extra content: sequence-decls

I assume (hope :-) ) that this is not a problem with OO.o, but something much less
problematic, for example that the file is ODF 1.1. If so, it would be useful to add
in the validator page a warning explaining, _before_ you upload the file, that it
can only handle files generated with OO.o up to version 1.x (4? 5?)

If this isn't the case, info on what caused the problem is welcome. Ditto for the odf viewer bug, btw.

Ciao,
