Personally I dislike static methods. You never know when some other code running in the same JVM will set a value which you thought was untouchable. If you need to use the same value for all calls you can always put a constant in your own code. Alternatively there could be some way of setting it via the top-level workbook object (that way your workbook is isolated from one opened by someone else's code which has different requirements...) but I'm not sure how plausible that is.
