We discussed:
* the April 1 deadline for CD02
* NEEDS-DISCUSSION items
* New unassigned issues

====================

Topic: CD02 - complete proposals by April 1
"Please complete all CD02 items assigned to you by April 1".


Topic: NEEDS-DISCUSSION item OFFICE-2335 (Complex Number Type)
http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/OFFICE-2335

Patrick: Just say "A complex number may be represented as a Number or Text."

Dennis: Don't confuse internal representation.

Michael: I don't think a number is okay.

Wheeler: Number is okay when the imaginary part is 0, and this is a useful optimization
because implementations often handle Number more rapidly than Text;
we don't want to forbid it.

New replacement text for section 3.4 (Complex Number) paragraph 3 and 4;
it's also added to OFFICE-2335 as a comment:
"A complex number may, but need not, be represented as a Number or Text.
The result of the functions ISNUMBER and ISTEXT are implementation-defined when applied to a complex number."



Topic: NEEDS-DISCUSSION item OFFICE-2381
http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/OFFICE-2381

Eric: What's the difference between 4.10.5 and 4.10.3.
In 4.10.5, second sentence, what does that mean?

Wheeler: 4.10.5 applies when a label is defined; 4.10.3 when the label is NOT defined.

Eric: So there's a means to know which row/column a label is associated with.

Eric: In Excel, it had nothing to do with naming a row or column... it's
really an area, and involves named expressions.
We may want to talk about this being implementation-dependent.

Dennis: If it's a defined label, I understand 4.10.2.

Eric: This is why automatic lookup is deprecated.

Eike: Position may change if you read the document in again.

Eric: I'm concerned that it's based on table label stuff.
Perhaps we can work in stating that some of this is implementation-dependent.

Eric will write a proposal and send to the list.  He will work with Eike.

Wheeler: I don't think there's any fan of the "automatic lookup" stuff of 4.10.3.


Topic: Many trivial unassigned typos.

There's a long list of new unassigned issues, which are basically typos:

Wheeler: I'll assign them to Patrick.
