The AUTOTEXT entry "can be arbitrarily complex and involve VML". VML is deprecated elsewhere in the specification. Non-deprecated components should not depend on deprecated components.
Proposed change: Either deprecate AUTOTEXT, or replace the use of VML within it with the use of DrawingML.

Proposed Disposition of DIS 29500 Comment GB-0250 (Modified: 2007-12-04) Agreed; the reference to VML is unnecessary. It will already be removed as a result of the response to comment GB-0249.
This says either this or that. It doesnt acturally resolve anything at all. Which is it are we getting rid of VML? or are we deprecating AUTOTEXT.
