    Hi Lars,
    
    the question is really simple. Consider the following ODF fragment:
    
       
       
    
    What we want to illustrate with the above fragment is the question what a "table" multiplied by constant means?
    
    If we leave that up to the implementation two (or more...) possible interpreations might be
    a) **ERROR
    b) Table is treated as an inline-array, thus the reasult might be 
          
     
    So what we wanted to outline here is that there is a definition whole in the ODF spec. 
    
    Our preferred solution would be to remove subtables/sections, etc from the schema.
    
    Proposal:
    ========
    
    Change the ODF schema in a way, that table-cells in a spreadsheed applications can not contains subtables, sections and headings.

    Wrt. to your initial remarks. The idea was to notify the technical committee about a shortcomming of the ODF spec and then solve the problem together. Are you saying this is not appreciated?
