A good write up on the issue and practice in programming languages and 
applications is here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/0%5E0#Zero_to_the_zero_power

My recommendation would be:

1) If current ODF-supporting applications (OpenOffice, KSpread, Excel, 
Symphony, Gnumeric, Google Spreadsheets, etc.) agree on a value, then we 
should document it that way.

2) If there is no agreement in current spreadsheet usage, then indicate 
that it is "implementation-defined" or "undefined."
