What are "contiguous sheets"?

Well, I am not sure that is right: Unless we know what "contiguous"
sheets are, we can't know what a cuboid is. I think we should definitely
define it (and the definition given above is incomplete.)

I think the confusion is that we sort of know what a cuboid is in any of
the existing spreadsheet applications but I don't see how we get
"contiguous sheets" from an ODF file.
