(In reply to Laurent BP from comment #168)
> ODF 1.3 defined a new attribute "number:exponent-interval" to scientific

Whenever ODF 1.3 finally appears or is advanced to the point to know how ODF
1.3 documents may be differentiated from ODF 1.2 documents, this will be handy.
At that time, it might be possible to use the Excel format notation and
automatically derive the required ODF 1.3 attributes.

Note that this does not cure the desire for SI units which are best treated
quite differently, since the SI scaling is applied before the presentation in
scientific/engineering notation.
E.g., 68.946E+03 g
vs    68.846E+00 kg

So the user simply does this by adding the SI suffix and ensuring that the
value at the indicated scale or else there has to be something more involved,
akin to the ways that "%" introduces scaling before presentation of a value.
