No, this is not what I meant. What I meant is that we should aim to
measure, improve or write guidelines for those ODF features that are
commonly used rather than caring about a few features that are seldom used.

Sorry, but to which charter you are referring. The purpose of this group
is to discuss a charter, but I don't think this list has a charter
itself. But actually implementation guidelines are included as item 4 in
the announcement of this list:
http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/oiic-formation-discuss/200806/msg00001.html
So, its not out of scope.

I think there is some misunderstanding. We have 90 days to work out the
charter details. When this is done, the real TC works starts, and we
have as many time for that as we need.
