Evaluating default values for optional attributes

[svanteschubert]

ODF 1.3 optional attributes described in chapter 19 with no default value

Owner – to present in ODF TC	Attribute name	ODF 1.3 reference(s)	Comments	Default Value	Associated JIRA Issue
	chart:legend-align	19,22	Only used when the value of chart:legend-position is bottom, end, start or top. Should it have a default value in those cases?
	db:as-template	19,34
	db:data-source-setting-is-list	19,39
	db:is-ascending	19,56
	db:is-autoincrement	19,57
	db:is-clustered	19,58
	db:is-empty-allowed	19,59
	db:is-nullable	19,62	Bizarre that the values are not true and false...
	db:is-unique	19,64
	db:max-row-count	19,68
	dr3d:enabled	19,97
	dr3d:lighting-mode	19,99	Possibly different defaults for use with chart:plot-area (19.99.2) and dr3d:scene (19.99.3).
	dr3d:projection	19,102	A default value is specified when the attribute is used with draw:enhanced-geometry but not when used with either of the other two.
	dr3d:shade-mode	19,103	A default value is specified when the attribute is used with draw:enhanced-geometry but not when used with either of the other two.
	dr3d:specular	19,106
	draw:align	19,111
	draw:dots1	19,135
	draw:dots2	19,137
	form:auto-complete	19,252
	form:current-state	19,261
	form:focus-on-click	19,274
	form:list-linkage-type	19,284
	form:list-source-type	19,286	Since the value value:list cannot be used with form:combobox, why is this not enforced by the schema?
	form:navigation-mode	19,295
	form:orientation	19,297
	form:repeat	19,302
	form:tab-cycle	19,309
	form:visual-effect	19,317
	number:min-denominator-digits	19,353
	number:min-exponent-digits	19,354
	number:min-integer-digits	19,355	The text specifies how to interpret absence of the attribute when used in number:fraction, but not in the other two cases.
	number:min-numerator-digits	19,357
	number:possessive-form	19,359
	number:style	19.362.1	A value is presumably meaningless if the value of the number:format-source attribute is not fixed.
	office:boolean-value	19,371	Only evaluated if the value of the meta:value-type attribute on the corresponding meta:user-defined element is boolean. Maybe this attribute must have a specified value in such cases? Otherwise, a default value is needed.
	office:display	19,378	The meanings of the values true and false are not specified. Why not? They are in almost all other cases.
	presentation:class	19,393
	presentation:play-full	19,412
	presentation:user-transformed	19,431
	smil:calcMode	19,443	Default value is not specified when used with anim:transitionFilter.
	smil:fill	19,45	The default value may be default, as in 19.406 and 19.458.
	smil:fillDefault	19,451
	smil:repeatCount	19,456
	style:leader-color	19,488
	style:leader-style	19,489
	style:leader-type	19,492
	style:leader-width	19,493
	style:num-letter-sync	19,505
	style:type	19.519.2,3
	style:volatile	19,521
	table:function	19.647.3
	table:grouped-by	19,65
	table:protected	19.700.3
	table:refresh-delay	19,705
	table:show-details	19,713
	table:show-empty	19,714
	table:table	19,732
	table:table-background	19,733
	text:caption-sequence-format	19,769		"text"
	text:continue-numbering	19,786	it's complicated
	text:current-value	19,791	Presumably, a default value would be meaningless in this case.
	text:display	19.802.3,4,7-12 text:chapter		"number-and-name"
	text:display	19.802.3,4,7-12 text:expression		"value"
	text:display	19.802.3,4,7-12 text:file-name		"full"
	text:display	19.802.3,4,7-12 text:table-formula		"value"
	text:display	19.802.3,4,7-12 text:template-name		"full"
	text:display	19.802.3,4,7-12 text:user-field-get		"value"
	text:display	19.802.3,4,7-12 text:variable-get		"value"
	text:display	19.802.3,4,7-12 text:variable-input		"value"
	text:display	19.802.3,4,7-12 text:variable-set	Writer never shows anything for these fields anyway
	text:fixed	19,809		"false"
	text:footnotes-position	19,81		"page"
	text:is-hidden	19,821		"false"
	text:page-adjust	19.851.2,3		"0"
	text:protected	19,855		"false"
	text:reference-format	19,86	The text generated from the schema is unnecessarily repetitive, since the possible values are the same for both text:reference-ref and text:bookmark-ref.	The specification already says "If the reference format is not specified, the page format is used as the default."
	text:select-page	19.869.3	Writer apparently uses a value "current" which does not exist?
	text:start-numbering-at	19,875		"document"
	text:table-type	19,885		"table"
	xlink:show	19,917	No default value is specified when this attribute is used with draw:a, draw:area-circle, draw:area-polygon, draw:area-rectangle, meta:hyperlink-behaviour, presentation:sound or text:a.

• text:table-type => default in Writer is "table"
• text:start-numbering-at => default in Writer is "document"
• text:select-page => default in Writer is "current" ... which does not exist in the schema???
• text:reference-format => the specification already says "If the reference format is not specified, the page format is used as the default."
• text:protected => "false", obviously
• text:page-adjust => "0", obviously
• text:is-hidden => default in Writer is "false"
• text:footnotes-position => default in Writer is "page"
• text:fixed => "false", obviously
• text:display
  • text:chapter => default in Writer is "number-and-name"
  • text:expression => "value", obviously
  • text:file-name => default in Writer is "full"
  • text:table-formula => "value", obviously
  • text:template-name => default in Writer is "full"
  • text:user-field-get => "value", obviously
  • text:variable-get => "value", obviously
  • text:variable-input => "value", obviously
  • text:variable-set => Writer never shows anything for these fields anyway
• text:current-value ... unclear if a default makes sense for this?
• text:continue-numbering ... this is a bit complicated (depends on another attribute, depends on the parent list) so not clear that a default value makes sense?
• text:caption-sequence-format => default in Writer is "text"
