Yes, I did look at Base, but, would rather like to stay with Calc as 
there are more people who would be able to trouble-shoot on spreadsheet 
software that on LibreOffice Base.

Although, that being said, I am going to try to replicate the same 
process that I am trying to achieve with Calc at a later date, on Base; 
just to satisfy my curiosity of working with Base.

I am curious then, if we are holding fidelity to the ODF standard, then, 
how do new features come about in Calc? Would it not be a little 
"bleeding-edge" of LibreOffice to add a new feature to Calc to see if 
that particular new feature would catch on with users? This then could 
later be proposed as a feature add-on to the ODF standard.

Also, if a dev did show interest in working on such a feature and 
garnered enough support for it, would it not be adopted for Calc or at 
least be considered?

While such a feature does not find its roots from a mathematical 
perspective, it would certainly be of good use to users creating forms 
in Calc. For the sake of useability, it may be worthwhile to look into.
