Actually I'll take a step back from this. The existing conditional formatting implementation *does* have the concept of ranges. For instance, unique values condition only makes sense when it's applied to a range of cells. So, color scales may be considered a logical extension of the conventional conditional formatting. Come to think of it, how are we dealing with these unique values, non-unique values conditions in ODF, which has similar range requirement to color scales (and data bars)?
