I have been generating Open Document spreadsheets via code (using the ODFpy API
provided by the Open Document Fellowship). Named ranges created with only the
'name' and 'cell-range-address' attributes are not recognized by OOo Calc. If I
include the 'base-cell-address' attribute as well, then OOo Calc recognizes the
named range.

According to the OASIS Open Document 1.1 specification [1], 'base-cell-address'
is optional and is only required if 'cell-range-address' contains relative
addresses. However, the 'cell-range-address' attributes that I am generating
only contain absolute addresses, and thus 'base-cell-address' should not be
required.

Here is an example of named range that OOo Calc does not recognize:

<table:named-range table:name="NR_0b245631ba6b335a44285d70445024b69b6fef1e" 
table:cell-range-address="$'Unit Types (Post)'.$A$3:.$A$65536"/>

and here is an example of one that it does recognize:

<table:named-range table:name="NR_0b245631ba6b335a44285d70445024b69b6fef1e"
table:base-cell-address="$'Unit Types (Post)'.$A$3"
table:cell-range-address="$'Unit Types (Post)'.$A$3:.$A$65536"/>

Thanks for considering this issue.
