The document can contain completely private test extensions, making it
possible to use just one document for all applications.

I know to little about the extensions. Are they allowed to be located
at any place? If an extension for e.g. background color for cell B4
can be placed anywhere (with a private syntax), it will be difficult
for an unknowing application to handle the insertion of a new top row.
Are there any restrictions for extensions?
