Due to technical reasons we are not able to implement this feature.
The OASIS Open Document format was just standardized. The format for charts
that have their own data is specified that this data is listed in a single
<table:table> element that contains the data inside the <chart:chart> element of
the chart object. Thus we are limited to a single spreadsheet. Furthermore
there is no component that exports spreadsheets into an existing XML document as
sub-element. And finally the import of OOo 2.0 can only handle tables where the
data is present in a contiguous block starting at cell A1, i.e. documents not
conforming to this would loose data.
The idea of using Calc was to get a powerful data editor with only little
effort. The current situation, however, requires that we put effort in reducing
the power of this data editor (allow only one sheet, disable embedded objects,
disable any formatting, and probably also formulas, because this would get lost
in the round-trip with OOo 2.0), and in writing components that can transform
the spreadsheets in a conforming format.
As a result we get a data editor with little more power than the old one with a
big effort.
Additional Remark: We haven't found a suitable way to use a hybrid solution,
i.e., export the data in the usual way, plus exporting a spreadsheet as an
additional embedded object. The main problem is to synchronize this data.
