Subject: New draft of OpenFormula
Okay, new draft posted yesterday: http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/office-formula/download.php/19163/openformula-20060716.odt Since everyone seems to want to stick to the name "OpenFormula", it's staying on the cover. Carrera's suggestion of "of:" as the standard prefix made sense, and is consistent with that. Of course, if we do THAT, we may as well make it ALL consistent, so I modified the namespace to say "openformula" as well. Please let me know if that's a problem. One oddity - "fo:" is the standard prefix for XSL-fo, which is obviously very similar to "of:". I don't expect that to be a problem in practice, it's pretty obvious which is which. New capability: "Results" can now have an error range, and be directly expressed as number1±number2 or number1±ε (where ε is interpreted as 1e-6). This is a shorthand for ABS(Expr-Number1)<number2. We have a lot of such expressions, because computer floating point is inexact. Also, it's clarified that test results with the Text type have to match EXACTLY, not just in a case-insensitive way. We no longer have numeric levels, we simply have group names. The levels were removed from all the function text. --- David A. Wheeler
