The "domain" nomenclature is sub-optimal for the end user.

for error 526: It seems that "domain" is the current set of Calc functions.
IMHO, the error is an "syntax error" from a function that may not exist anymore
or has a different argument signature in the current set of valid Calc
functions (including extension-provided functions).

Comparing to Err:525, "no valid domain name" seems to indicate that the
function is not on the current set of valid functions.

Comparing to err:504, "a domain reference instead of cell reference" can mean a
function name reference instead of a cell reference...

What is your take?
