Re: [libreoffice-users] Calc corrupted an Excel xlsx file, should I report a bug?

Hi :)
This thread has gone waaay off-topic.  Continuing with that = this wikipedia 
guide might be interesting
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Organization_for_Standardization#Criticism


I think the question that started this thread has been solved but i'm not 
completely certain.  

Regards from
Tom :)

The default specification for LO is 12extended that I am now using. So
supposing m$ suddenly provides support for ods12, does that mean I
would have to change the LO specification down from 12extended to 12
so that formulas are preserved for other ods12 programs?

It would be appreciated to receive notification when this
specification is accepted. Is m$ surreptitiously trying to
prevent/delay iso acceptance, or now bribing (sorry, wrong word,
"suggesting") iso to adopt some m$ooxmlooformula alternative?
