Subject: Arrays have regular shape, no embedded arrays


Eike:
> We already defined in "4.7 Array" "that applications that claim to
> support arrays support arrays with one or more columns, each with one or
> more rows, where exactly the same number of columns are contained in

>

No, I think that's quite explicit already.  So we've already covered that base.

I said:
>> Section 4.7 has a TODO on arrays of arrays. I propose that we specifically do NOT require support of arrays of arrays. Apps can implement that if they want to, but I think we should NOT require support of it until there's more experience with them.

Eike:
>I think that in spreadsheet context there also is no need to support them, and I don't know what it would be good for if an app did that. I'll remove the TODO. Section 4.7 is fine as is, I think.

Agree. Okay, Eike will remove the TODO, and we have one less TODO to do.
