Hey Eike, Kohei,

I'm also not fully convinced of this patch. This behavior has been in
Libreoffice since the start so IMHO it is more important to keep the
behavior for all the LibO users than to change it again to please
potential users switching from OOo.

I think the only sane solution that will please both sides is to have
it as configuration option but I'm not thrilled to see the default
behavior changed again.

FWIW, what would the ideal situation be if had a time machine ? e.g.
Would a compatibility option of TreatEmptyCellsAsZero that defaulted to
true if unset, and LibreOffice >= X.Y exported it as false have made
sense ?

IMO the most sane solution is to make it configurable, and let the user choose which way she prefers. We could try to be smart and detect the version of the document and change the behavior, but that will open up another can of worms.

I'll add this configuration option during 3.7 cycle if this can wait until 3.7. If you guys need it earlier than that I could work on it and push it as a late feature if it's desperately needed for 3.6.
