------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Nov 20 19:53:20 +0000 2008 ------- When browsing the thread http://lists.go-oo.org/pipermail/dev-go-oo.org/2008-November/000957.html especially for the Russian locale xlRowSeparator: : as mentioned in http://lists.go-oo.org/pipermail/dev-go-oo.org/2008-November/000965.html I have serious doubts about the sanity of such feature, given that ':' is also the range operator (or is even that different in a Russian Excel localization?). We'd need special treatment of common operators when within array constants in that case. Of course the request to support ',' as the parameter separator makes much sense, so does flexibility in decimal separator, and array constants' row separator would also be nice. We will have to give up the possibility to parse group separators within formula values. We should ask ourself though to what extend we are willing to support some quirks that different locales in Excel introduced and maybe changed between Excel releases? Should we allow arbitrary configuration of the array constants' row separator because expressions aren't possible anyway? Or should there be the prerequisite that no separator shall clash with an operator? Anyway, we'll end up with configurable separators, to be defaulted to whatever UX thinks would be right, current OOo or (Excel) locale dependent. Plus we'd need either pointers in or locale dependent online help if the latter. Sounds like a nightmare to me. YMMV.
