Subject: [OASIS Issue Tracker] Commented: (OFFICE-1186) Public Comment: Re:[office-comment] ODFF: list of suggestions: TRIMMEAN



    [ http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/OFFICE-1186?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17543#action_17543 ] 

Andreas Guelzow  commented on OFFICE-1186:
------------------------------------------

All function descriptions act after conversion of the arguments to the appropriate type. If we had an argument "Integer x", then the constraint  x= 1 or 2 would of course be applied after conversion, ie. the argument 1.2 would be converted to 1 which then satisfies the constraint. 

Similarly in this case we already have a NumberSequence (or NumberSequenceList in the current version) so conversions has already happened. 

So I would suggest to close this with "No Action".
