Re: [tdf-discuss] OOXML ECMA-376, transitionnal and strict

Taking a look to the 'standard' I see that section 17.2.3 of ISO/IEC 
29500-1 (Part 1) indicates that there must be a conformance="strict" 
attribute in the Main Document Story. I have generated some documents 
with office 2013 and the tags appear inside the document in this way:
+for word (docx) is in word\document.xml and appears as <w:document ... 
w:conformance="strict">
+for excel (xlsx) is in xl\workbook.xml and appears as <workbook ... 
conformance="strict">
+for powerpoint (pptx) is in ppt\presentation.xml and appears as 
<p:presentation ... conformance="strict">

Creating a regular expression for checking this must be easy, for example:
grep "<\(p:\)\?presentation.*\(p:\)\?conformance=\"strict\".*>" 
presentation.xml

Be careful as the xml probably is not pretty printed so it can be quite 
long and impact performance when parsing. This can easily be solved 
parsing only the first 2048 characters, for example, but of course this 
deserves further testing

Best regards
