Hi Thomas,

Nice specification. I think it covers all major use-cases and most important it covers them well.

[One can argue about phone-numbers (+nn-nnn-nn...nn) but I have no single idea how to handle them consistently. Maybe IF the cell-type (from 'Format cells' -> 'Numbers' -> 'Category') is set explicitly to 'Text' (or 'phone', when such a type gets implemented ;-) ), then NO automatic formula input should be activated. But I can live without this feature, at least for the next year or so.]

Sincerely,

Leonard

Please note, that I updated the specification at

Although the question which user input is converted into a formula
is quite controversial, I tried to include the most important comments
into the specification.

In a nutshell:
- If the user input is a valid number the result will be a numeric
  value.
- If the user input is a valid or auto-corrected formula the result
  will be a formula.

For more details including exceptions please have a look at the
specification.
