Hi Florian,

Hi,

I just ran over the following problem about style inheritance in ODF. [...] So when rendering a paragraph with style "MyStyle" will the paragraph have 5 tabs [1in, 2in, 3in, 4in, 5in] or just one tab at [1in] according to ODF inheritance?

Just my opinion as a newbie at this TC. The composite result of your example obviously makes sense. But what about having the following style definitions: [...] You will end up in a tabstop mess. Hence I think <style:tab-stops> should be overwritten by default.

Yes, this is the only option that makes sense. The whole set of tab-stops should be replaced when a derived styles' properties define <style:tab-stops>. Should this be made clearer in the spec?
