Well, the thing is, the only solution to this would be requiring all spreadsheets to implement all possible functions, and at the same time, prohibiting them from implementing anything more. Which, obviously, is not a good idea. I personally like this LOGICAL_1, ... approach, it makes it relatively easy to check for level of compatibility, and allows incremental updating to be more and more compatible with the spec - for example, I can have all Level 1 functions fully complaint, and most higher ups present, but occasionaly giving different results for whatever reason. And, yeah, if agreeing on levels/groups is a problem (although I don't see why), let's just move on to defining each function and worry about groups later on. / Tomas
