In order to further clarify that in the specication itself, I suggest
that we make the follwoing changes:

Section 8.1.2:Default Cell Style

Change

"The table:default-cell-style-name attribute specifies a default cell
style. Cells contained in the row without an individual cell style use
these default cell style."

to

"The table:default-cell-style-name attribute specifies a default cell
style. Cells contained in the row that don't have a table:style-style
name attribute use this default cell style.

The attribute is applied to cells that are defined by a
<table:table-cell> element. It is typically not applied to table cells
that spreadsheet application may display in addition to those defined in
the document."


Section 8.2.1:Default Cell Style

Change

"The table:default-cell-style-name attribute specifies the default cell
style. Cells without a style use this style when there is no default
cell style specified for the cell's row as well."

to

"The table:default-cell-style-name attribute specifies the default cell
style. Cells that don't have a table:style-style name attribute use this
style when there is no default cell style specified for the cell's row
as well.

The attribute is applied to cells that are defined by a
<table:table-cell> element. It is typically not applied to table cells
that spreadsheet application may display in addition to those defined in
the document."
