Yes - I am not trying to downplay the resources needed to create
implementer's notes with real value.

Yes - and I have registered on your wiki the other day for just that reason.

What I think would be a good format would be to create the same structure
Microsoft did when they initially made their first implementer's notes.
They took offset in the structure of the standard itself and the numbering
of the sections. So if you were implementing "Section x, paragraph Y", you
could go to that specific place in their implementer notes and find answer
to any discrepancies with Office implementation and OOXML spec. It has been
extremely useful.

I have not done a specific investigation of this, but the press release
referred on the Danish page says that Calc has now several new functions
like

"DATODIF, IMAGTAN, IMAGSEK, IMAGCSK ,IMAGCOT, IMAGSINH, IMAGCOSH, IMAGSEKH
og IMAGCSKH"

I would imagine that these were defined in OOF, but I cannot find then in
ODF 1.2 Part 2.
