--- Comment #3 from Russell Warren <[email protected]> ---
To clarify why it is self-inconsistent and ambiguous, the following cell
contents:

A1
--
"abc
def"

B1
--
"ghi

C1
--
jkl"


pastes across as:


"abc
Def"
"ghi
jkl"


but this is also EXACTLY how the cell contents below paste across:


A1
--
"abc
def"

B1
--
"ghi
jkl"

<C1 empty>


ie: no automation can reliably reverse this to spreadsheet cell contents.

It should either be perfectly reversible, or consistently simple.  I think the
old OpenOffice way was the latter, and preferable.  Or make it a configurable
option how text pasting operations work.  But what would you label the
inconsistent/irreversible quoting scheme as?
