What is the goal of an open-formula specification ? I'd assume it is to improve interoperability between versions and implementors of the standard. If that is the case then there is already a standard, MS Excel. Given the complexity and prevalence of it's evaluation engine it seems wasteful for us to produce a standard that does anything that is not a superset of Excel's conventions.
If cases show up later where an "Excel superset" specification differs from Excel itself, it would be the spec that's wrong. That would turn it from a specification into a mere description. Useful, no question, but probably not what the OpenFormula proponents had in mind.
So "what's the goal" seems to be a very good question here. Niklas --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
