Subject: Re: [opendocument-users] Re: How to interpret thedefault-cell-style-name attribute in spreadsheets
Hi, I have read through the issue discussion at KOffice and OOo, and I think the cause for confusion is the loading, i.e. the creation of empty cells in the loading app. OOo says, that @default-cell-style-name (dcsn) does not apply to empty cells created at load-time. KOffice says, that @dcsn applies to all cells created in its scope during load. Since the relevant part of the specification was originally created by the OOo Calc team, I think it is relevant to listen to what their intent was, when specifying @dcsn. In the issue discussions, it is said, that this intent was that @dcsn should not apply to generated empty cells. Now, the issue seems to be, that some people are interpreting the specification in a way that @dcsn should apply to generated empty cells. An interpretation that is obviously inconsistent with the intent the spec was written in. If the specification can be interpreted in a way, that is contrary to its original intend, I believe it should be updated in a way, that clarifies the interpretation and an errata be issued accordingly. E.g. if the intent was that @dcsn is not to be applied to application created empty cells, this should be explicitly mentioned, since obviously implementors are being confused.
