But again, if you think that situation never comes up in real use,
then let's not make the change, since it would have no benefit.
You don't seem to see the benefit of the change: warn the user that there is
something weird in the formula that requires his attention.
Perhaps that there are users getting wrong results because a value is
returned and therefore hides the problem.
And your solution is to give users error messages where they do not
have a problem ?! What if they the examine the formula and find out
that it is exactly what they wanted? Your solution would force them
to rewrite their formulas for no good reason.
Again this is like giving an spelling error for "their" because some
users might confuse it with "there".

I am torn as to which is worse..... because loading the document in any
other program able to read ODF might exhibit completely different
behavior; and still be valid to the spec.
Although I would prefer returning an error, if it does not, then it
should stay as it is (as opposed to changing to one of the other
supported values)
