I haven't yet seen any way of specifying 1000's grouping in scientific format in
OOo with 'Minimum number of integer digits' <= 3.  I should have pointed out
that, as far as I can determine, OOo and excel are the same in this respect.

If this combination of attributes is indeed impossible to set at present, there
can be no OOo users making use of it.  Reassigning it to mean engineering format
is a promising option.

We could maintain the existing support for any users that are using 1000's
grouping in scientific format with 'Minimum number of integer digits' > 3 (which
is an OOo feature or trait that does not exist in excel).  To do this we would
turn off the engineering interpretation during 'Minimum number of integer
digits' > 3.

Finally, to look at the problem and solution from all angles, it is worthwhile
considering how existing software handles spreadsheet files that a future
version of OOo has coded as engineering format.  I would hope some sort of value
is shown and that the format can be changed - all without crashing or hanging or
deeming the file to be corrupt.
