David Faure commented on OFFICE-1829:
-------------------------------------

I'm surprised, because OOo definitely supports "elapsed time" as well.
Here's what it generates:

    <number:time-style style:name="N117" number:truncate-on-overflow="false">
      <number:hours number:style="long"/>
      <number:text>:</number:text>
      <number:minutes number:style="long"/>
    </number:time-style>

> Programs such as Gnumeric provide an "elapsed time"  time style: [h]:mm:ss which interprets the hours not as a time but as a time duration, so the presentation may look like: 34:12:00
> (34 hours, 12 minutes and 0 seconds). SImilarly [mm]:ss would yield 194:12 (194 minutes and 12 hours). THis appears to be a heavily used format.
> Currently this can't be achieved in ODF styles:
> time-style does not appear to provide a way of specifying that the hours (or minutes) should consider the whole value.
> number style cannot be used since one can only show a single number (and one can't calulate the seconds from within that style.
