--- Comment #2 from Tony Durham <anthonydurham@gmail.com> ---
Thanks Heike for looking at this idea. I totally get the problem with ODF.
Obviously ODF has its own update cycle, and new features can, over time, be
incorporated. But the ODF standard group (I don't know its formal name)isn't
going to mandate a new feature like this one, without substantial support from
the office software companies. And I suspect the software companies aren't
deluged with user requests for a cyclic cell-addressing mode. 

So, like a lot of these things, it's chicken and egg.

Meanwhile, I'll hope someone invents a time machine, so I can go back to 1978
and have a word with Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston. If I am successful, you
won't notice anything changing. Cyclic addressing will be the way it always
was. (And this conversation won't have happened.)
