I was re-casting:

"This section describes the basic formula processing model: how 
expressions are calculated, when recalculation occurs, and limits on 
formulas."

But after re-reading the section on recalculation, it is just advisory 
and not normative. Yes?

Do we need to reduce and keep as a note, perhaps with formulas tagged 
for forced recalculation?

The opening line then becomes:

"OpenFormula defines the semantics of expressions and limits on those 
expressions. It does not specify any particular process for evaluations 
consistent with those definitions."

Thinking that saying "formulas" isn't any different from "expression." Yes?

Hope you are looking forward to a great weekend!
