Conflict between Part 1 and Part 2

[Patrick Durusau <patrick@durusau.net>]

Greetings!

Just in case anyone is dodging the flood of JIRA comments, ;-), do take 
note of Office-2343 on Date and DateTime that has uncovered an apparent 
conflict between parts 1 and 2.

http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/OFFICE-2343

Briefly, part 1 sets a default of 1899-12-30 and part 2 says evaluators 
"*shall* support all dates from 1904-01-01 through 9999-12-31 
(inclusive), with correct calculations." (Emphasis added)

Looks like it leaves out the default set by part 1.

Andreas has suggested additional setting information to process 1900 as 
leap year expressions. (we currently lack a mechanism to signal that, we 
simply say they exist).

Hope everyone is having a great day!

Patrick

PS: Yes, the default value, 1899-12-30, appeared in ODF 1.0/1.1.
