This came up on an OOoForum debate, where a newbie was asking why charting only
still supports 32K rows rather than 64K.  I pointed out that Excel had the same
limitation.  I also made the following observation whch Bob asked me to
replicate here: 

"Why on earth when we upped the various limits in 2.0 match Excel feature by
feature, rather than just go the whole hog and up the limits as sensible. I
occasionally hit a 64K row limit importing CSVs and doing query result sets.
Upping this limit to 256K for examole would have been a brilliant step past 
Excel."

The 32K/256 (and then 64K/256) limits are buried in the history of how Excel
stored its cell data sparsely with a 4 byte descriptor prefix (type/row/column).
 I am sure that you use nothing like this is Calc, so why on earth impose such
arbitrary and annoying constraints.  As I say it sould have useful product
differentiation.
