This seems to be a pretty comprehensive book on the OASIS format, but I wouldn't use it as *definite* source :) > I just need to confirm that OOo does support (and will keep supporting) > 'table:number-rows-spanned' attribute. In general, if the OASIS standard defines this attribute, conforming applications should be able to read it. Though there currently is no application which fully implements the standard (since it was intentionally defined as general as possible, not caring for current implementation status), any change here will only be towards *more* coverage of the standard, not *less*. So, if OOo currently supports this attribute, I strongly doubt that this will change in the future. *If* it would change, I would consider this a bug.
