There are standard namespace aliases in ODF, like text: or style:. You can use loext: as a namespace that is intentionally not in the official spec but is an LO extension.

Heiko leads that, and you can just mail [email protected] if you want design input, see: https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/ > - In the selection matrix mentioned above I added crude placeholder graphics > that I created just by taking a screenshot of representative of-pie charts. > But they look nothing like the graphics for the other chart types.

One way that works is to put a placeholder image (so you can test your code) and then ask for help on the design@ list. I did something like that myself in the past. Regards, Miklos
