So, what we could do is prepare two proposals, the clean incompatible

I think this is a sensible approach.  However, given how slow the TC
can be, I'm not sure if we can rely on them reaching a conclusion in
time for 3.6 (my guess would be "no").  I would rather we pick one
now, document it and use it. Then later when the TC decides what to do
in the standard, we'll adopt to that.

I just don't want to set a dangerous precedent where an implementer
has to wait for the (quite time-consuming and slow-going)
standardization process in order to get a feature implemented.  I can
see similar situations popping up in the future, and I don't want the
standardization process to be the bottleneck.  Note that this is not
to bash the standard committee being slow.  That process is slow for a
reason, and it's probably better that way.  I'm just trying to avoid
setting undesirable precedents for similar situations that we will
undoubtedly encounter again.

Even if the TC can be quite slow, may I suggest that you write up a document 
about what you want to achieve and how and then reach out to other ODF using 
communities?  Maybe they can find some problems with the suggested approach or 
even improvements.

The obvious candidates would be Calligra and AOO, but I am sure there are many 
more that could be potentially interested.
