I guess the behaviour can't be changed now, but I still think it's rather weird
that relative references to cells are updated when you shift around cells e.g.
by deleting columns, but relative sheet references aren't updated when you shift
around sheets.

That is, if you have four sheets (Sheet1,2,3,4) instead of the three in my
example and make a Sheet3.$A$1:$A$5 reference, and then delete Sheet2, your
reference will all the sudden point to Sheet4. If it had been a cell reference
and you'd deleted a column, which I feel is somewhat equivalent, the cell
reference will be updated. In fact, I guess that when you have a Sheet4....
reference and delete Sheet3 your reference all the sudden is totally invalid
because the "current sheet + 3" doesn't exist any more.

I think this behaviour is highly unintuitive, everywhere else are relative
references updated when things change but with the sheets. However, I don't feel
strongly about the issue either, I've only used the data validity feature once
[and promptly ran into the issue, however]
