I was getting an unexpected UnsupportedOperationException thrown when creating a workbook from a certain document.

Digging through a debugger I eventually tracked it down to being thrown from Ptg.java, line 330:

     //retval = new UnknownPtg();
     throw new java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException(
            Integer.toHexString(( int ) id) + " (" + ( int ) id + ")");

What I want to know is why that code which is commented out wasn't left in. It seems bad to throw an exception just because some kind of formula isn't understood, so I'm tempted to change it back, but is there a risk if I revert that code back to the original?

I suppose the other alternative is implementing a Ptg class for ID 0x14. This appears to be the formula element used when you have a percentage in a cell formula (e.g. =D4 * 9%).
