    Subject: Definition of cellAddress lacks apostrophe in table name


    Hi,
    
    According to the current ODF cellAddress definition in
    8.3.1 Referencing Table Cells
    line 3838, the apostrophe character is not allowed in table names (I'm
    using EBNF syntax here)
    
    TableName   ::= [^\. ']+ | "'" [^']+ "'"
    
    However, for spreadsheet context, embedded apostrophes must be allowed,
    and could be doubled for storage.
    
    SheetName   ::= [^\. ']+ | "'" ([^'] | "''")+ "'"
    
    How can this be addressed in the ODF specification?
    
      Eike
