Thanks. > > http://wiki.oasis-open.org/office/Add_multiple_cell_ranges_support_to_Data_Pilot I just wanted to say that the proposal looks reasonable to me. One thing I would consider changing is, for backward compatibility with pre-1.2 processors, we should definitely keep the table:source-cell-range attribute even if the table:source-cell-ranges attribute is preferred for 1.2 and above. So for instance, if only one cell range is specified, the 1.2 processor should put that range in both table:source-cell-range and table:source-cell-ranges attributes. And if there are multiple cell ranges specified, put the range that is considered most representative (or simply just the first range of the range set) to the table:source-cell-range so that the older processors can at least load something. Also, is there any constraints on the geometry of the cell ranges? For example, do all the cell ranges have to have the same width, or can the widths of ranges be different? Also, when the field names are given in the first row of each cell range, do they have to match for all the cell ranges? I'm just trying to picture how those multiple ranges are merged into one data set. Thanks, and sorry about the last reply.
