ODF New Proposal Template

We want a closer cooperation between TC and application developers. Therefore please use the template Proposal Template Incremental from ODF version 1.4.

Summary

Proposal owner:

The name of the TC member who is making the proposal and who will own it through the process

Proposal short name:

A short description, only a few words, something we can use in email subject lines, in agendas, etc.

Rationale

Use cases:

No need for elaborate formal use cases.  But give a few sentences that explain what this feature is and does from the perspective of the consumer of this feature.  The consumer might be the end user of the application.  It might be an application developer.  It might be an archivist.  It could be almost anyone.  But please give a few words on why this feature should interest us.

Alternatives considered:

There is often more than one way to accomplish a task.  For your use case, what other alternatives did you consider, and why did you find them inadequate?
