furthermore, let's keep in mind that a table container as a UI structural 
element has many uses, not just as a spreadsheet view, so imposing the behavior 
of a particular use seems over-restrictive.

absolutely, the app should be ultimately responsible for deciding what to 
select and what not. it is not too difficult to imagine a situation where 
selecting a row or column does not make sense for the app, in which case 
returning S_FALSE, or even "not implemented" should be legal. Best regards,

Although we have decided to specify the behavior of un/selectRow/Column (4 
methods) to be the same as that of Excel.  In the cases where the GUI behavior 
is different, e.g. MS Word, OOo, and Symphony, should the behavior be allow to 
divert from the specification to match that of the GUI?

We do need to specify behavior for those cases such as a browser where there is 
no GUI to select/unselect rows/columns.
