Dennis Hamilton commented on OFFICE-2334:
-----------------------------------------

In the discussion on 2010-04-20, we came to the following: 

Remove the definition of sparse and just indicate that any of the positions may be empty cells.

Simplify the last statement to avoid use of "sparse."

Remove the reference to outer-expression and such.  This section does not indicate how references are expressed or when such expressions are valid for determining a cuboid.

There are issues to be worked out with respect to 4.8 and 5.4.11 and perhaps also in 2.3 and 3.10 with regard to how reference cuboids (rectangles) arise and are applied.  Those issues should not be addressed in 3.8, which simply determines what the cuboid is when conditions for a cuboid are satisfied and there is a valid reference.

> Reference currently reads:
> "A reference refers to a cuboid of cells called a range. A special case is a single cell reference, a reference to a single cell."
> Rather:
> "A reference specifies a contiguous set of one or more cells. Such as set of cells may be referred to as a range."
> I am assuming that "cuboid" was used to indicate that a reference can refer only to a contiguous range of cells.
