Fair enough. The OpenFormula specification (in .odt and .html formats), and the automatically generated test suite, are now posted. I have the copyright, and grant the OpenDocument TC the rights to use this to develop a specification should they choose to, per the OASIS OpenDocument TC IPR. My goal in doing this is that I want there to be an open standard for spreadsheets that is implementable by all. Go to: http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/office-formula/ and look at the "Documents" section. Repeat: There is NO commitment to use this specification as a base document; that's something the SC needs to discuss. I hope it will be useful, of course, but my goal is that there BE a spec... not that it be the base document. But I think it's useful, and hope others agree. --- David A. Wheeler
