Sorry, if it wasn't clear. I have a spreadsheet on my hard-drive
right now that would be break if we changed the behavior of 0^0.
And what is your *serious* use case for this spreadsheet? Beside to
use it as a test document? And you have it created before the
discussion has started?
I'll ask my question again:
Is there more than one who can deliever a *serious and valid use case*?
I assume that the valid use case is that existing spreadsheets start
returning different values than they do with the current release.
It is always annoying when you have existing things that stop working
when there is a new release. Admittedly, it may fail on any other
program since the behavior is not well defined by the standard in this
case.
AOO is ODF compliant regardless, because the standard allows for the
different values.
On the other hand, if a sheet is designed to function with an error
value returned for 0^0, I expect that it will then work the same on all
implementations. Yeah, I prefer that we break the existing sheets, but I
feel bad about it.
