2008 -------
After some more digging: the issue seems to be that somewhere along the line
between v2.xx and v3.xx, OpenOffice has moved to exporting Office Excel 2003 XML
formula tags in the ODFF [.a1] bracketed schema, instead of the R1C1 that was
exported before.

This breaks compatibility between OpenOffice XML and MS Excel itself, as an XML
file created by OpenOffice v3 fails to import correctly into Ms Excel 2008
(mac), throwing up an error message and losing all its formulae.

I am therefore flagging this a a DEFECT now.
