This is Public Comment Registry #265. It also appears as OFFICE-1006 and OFFICE-893

It duplicates Public Comment Registry #219

This defect occurs in ODF 1.0 through ODF 1.1

The schema for ODF 1.1 and earlier provided "-1" as the default value for the optional table:used-hierarchy attribute.

In ODF 1.2 Part 1 cd02 section 17.747, the statement with the omission has been removed and not replaced. The statement should be restored to the text, with the recommended correction.

There is an editorial item on the fact that the presence of any other value for this attribute is implementation-defined ("specified by an external component"). The JIRA issue for this Editors Note does not show up in any obvious searches.

@Dennis:
In your summary of the review of the errata document you wrote:
"May be another place for implementation dependency also, though implicit "
This leaves room for interpretation. Under the assumption you meant that as -1 was not given the functionality can only be assumed as implementation-dependent. I would still keep the proposed fix as the corrected value is the default value.

Therefore I suggest to stay with the proposal and react when ISO desires a different solution.

Errata 02 - ODF 1.2 Reconciliation:
  The explicit default value and its interpretation are provided in ODF 1.2 (twice).
