reading the ODFF draft spec I have assumed, that it is possible to

ODFF is about file format storage, UI names may and sometimes will
differ.
Shouldn't there be an agreement on UI names between applications?
Otherwise users in mixed environments will be very confused.
This might not be a problem with CHIDIST, because it is
clear, that this is the old, right tailed form, because CHISQDIST is the
new left tailed form.
But for FDIST and FINV there are no new names planed. So what will
happen, if you open an old document?
Currently FDIST and FINV are displayed (hopefully, didn't check back ;-)
because that is what users are used to, also from other applications.
Yes 3.0 displays it as FDIST and FINV respectively.
You cannot show the name FDIST,
because it will have a different meaning. I would expect, that when
opened, it is changed to LEGACY.FINV. But that can I not use in OOo3.
How will it be possible to use both meanings parallel?
We could rename UI function names to anything we want in resource
RID_SC_FUNCTION_NAMES, or come up with new names for the "real" FDIST
and FINV functions. This should be clarified with the UX team.
Considering market shares the question is not, how we want to name it,
but how Excel will name it.
Do you bring the problem to UX team?
It seems that there is something missing/wrong?
Just not thought over yet.
Please consider also http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=94533
kind regards
