EASTER() spreadsheet function

* Discussion of ODF 1.0 maintenance

- Rob noted the recently-received defect report from the UK NB in SC34. 
Only 10 issues.  Rob suggested that the TC's response might be appended to 
our response to the 2nd defect report from Murata-san, and processed via a 
single Approved Errata document.

* Other

- Doug S. mentioned that the W3C has a specification at last call "EXI" = 
"Efficient XML" which relates to packaging.  The efficiency aspects of 
packaging and editing was discussed with the suggestion that there is 
certainly more work that could be done here to make best practices more 
widely known.
