> The draft specification defines the result as 1-P(-|z| <= Z <= |z|), 
> which is a two-tailed form. But the current implementations use a 
> one-tailed form. Besides a real bug in OOo, Excel and OOo return
> 1-P( Z<=z) for z>=0 and
> P( Z <= |z|) for z<0
> Gnumeric returns P( Z <= |z|) for z<0 too, but I do not understand the 
> result in Gnumeric for z>=0.
> In other cases of changed semantic, for example the change from right 
> tail to left tail in CHIDIST, for the old version LEGACY was introduced. 
> Shouldn't there be a differentiation in the case of ZTEST too? I know 
> the specification is only about the internal names and using a prefixed 
> name for the old version internally is possible. But the names in the 
> specification give a strong hint how the functions should be named in 
> the UI of the applications and unique names in different applications 
> would make working with different applications much easier for users.
