Poland - PKN

 

In order to get complete and trustworthy opinion on the DIS 29500 from various interested parties in Poland Polish NB conducted wide and open public consultancies. Several questions we asked as a part of these consultancies are based on ISO/IEC Directives and constitute MINIMAL REQUIREMENTS for ISO/IEC standards. They include:

    • Possible IPR infringes
    • Completeness, consistency and clarity of the Draft
    • State of art compliance (being not based on obsolete technical assumptions)
    • Room for development of the standard
    • User friendliness for experts not being involved in the Draft preparation (resulting in stable and various implementations)
    • Co-existence with other ISO standards in one application (whether the implementation of this particular standard would make impossible to implement at least one another ISO standard)

Polish NB considered carefully all PRO’S and CON’S comments submitted during the consultancy period. In the conclusion, we have not identified ANY obvious non-compliance of the standard with MINIMAL REQUIREMENTS. Therefore, taking into account specific One-Step-Approval ‘Fast Track’ procedure, Polish NB is in favour to say ‘yes’ to DIS 29500 submitting only general and few editorial comments.

Technical problems have been pointed out in relation to not using several W3C recommendation in OOXML Draft. This relates specifically to:

W3C CSS3 Color Module 2.18.46 section, p .2521)

W3C ITS 1.0 (2.3.3.24 section, p. 1051)

W3C RDF/XML Syntax section 10, p. 218)

W3C MathML 2.0 (7.1 section, p. 747)

W3C SMIL 2.1 (4.6 section, p. 3854)

W3C SVG 1.1 ( 15.2.17 section, p. 158, 2.18.46 section, p. 2521)

Polish NB expresses their opinion that according to the JTC1 Directive, the ISO International Standard is required to be in compliance with existing ISO and/or IEC standards (see the Definition 3.3. of IS as taken out from ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 Rules for the structure and drafting of International Standard s).

We have not recognized any incompliance of the Draft with other ISO and/or IEC standards. However, W3C recommendations and their applicability should be considered as a base for further development during routine standard maintenance process as it is usually done in JTC1.

Over 300 errors in XML examples have been identified and confirmed. The list of errors was submitted to Polish NB, however recognized to be the same as presented in:

According to Microsoft Poland those errors are being now under correction. Polish NB draws the Project Editor’s attention to be sure the corrections will be done.

EMUs unit exchange ratios are wrong (one zero is skipped in both entries):

91440EMUs/US inch and 36000 EMUs/cm

 

Should read:
