Subject: RE: [office] Question on implementation-defined - part 4 - formulas
The intention is that there are 2 possible values and the implementation should decide and define which of these two values will be returned.

If any digits are 2 through 9, an evaluator shall return an Error. It is implementation-defined what happens if an evaluator is given an empty string; evaluators may return an Error or 0 in such cases. ***** Notice that we say "implementation-defined," but then immediately follow with: *may* return an Error or 0 in such cases. If we mean, "implemention-defined," isn't that all we should say and stop? Or, are we using "implementation-defined" in a common sense and then specifying with "may," the possible options to return? This happens more than once in part 4. Before I create a lot of needless JIRA issues, wanted to check with the TC. Thanks! Hope everyone is having a great weekend!
