ODF without foreign elements can only save a subset of Gnumeric
features. There is really no sensible reason to use ODF without foreign
elements: in the worst case scenario by using foreign elements you are
losing those features when importing the file into another consumer. If
you save without foreign elements yo ualready loose them when saving. In
addition, some of theforeign elements Gnumeric uses are specified by
LO/AOO so those foreign elements are in fact understood by other consumers.
Saving and opening .gnumeric files will always be be faster than using
ODF files. The former matches Gnumeric's internal data structures much
more closely than ODF.

Hi,
I am keen to keep my documents in as simple a way as possible and also
using open standards. Firstly would it be good to keep my working
spreadsheets in .ods format not gnumeric format or possibly I should
just keep some backed up copies in .ods format but keep the working
version in gnumeric format.
Secondly if I use .ods format should it be with or without foreign
elements?
