(In reply to ghborrmann from comment #8)
Calc displays formulas to users using whatever modification options set in the
program - taking into account the localized defaults for locales (like commas
as argument separators in en-US), and user overrides in Options->Calc->Formula.
It would use R1C1 notation, or Excel A1 notation, if user sets so. And that's
all just a *display* thing; internally, there's only one "API" syntax that is
accepted by oCell.Formula - namely, those defined in ODF standard (e.g., for
function parameters, see its OpenFormula sect. 5.6 [1]). In other words,
answering to

the answer is: in ODF international standard. Using locale-independent strings
when programming is essential for any programmer, to avoid gotchas when your
program stops working on your neighbor just because they changed their display
preferences.
