--- Comment #2 from Norbert Thiebaud <[email protected]> ---
"It's well known that 0^0 doesn't exist"
it is not well known that 0^0 does not exist. in fact Euler in ~1740 already
defined it to be 1. 0^0 is an indeterminate 'form' in the context of extension
by continuity of multi-variables functions... but that is only in that narrow
specific sub-set of Math that 0^0 is considered an indeterminate 'form'...
but in many other area of mathematics the convention of 0^0 = 1 is useful and
commonly used.

so

1/ The ODF standard allow for 0^0=1
2/ Changing that would break backward compatibility as LibreOffice, OpenFoffice
and StarOffice have always returned 1 for 0^0
