As the originator of this bug, I've been watching this argument for a few days
shy of seven years.  It's been interesting.

Why don't you ask some users what they think about "Excel compatibility" vs. "we
think *this* is *better* for you".  I'd put $50 on "Excel compatibility" being
the overwhelming winner.  But try it and find out.

"We *think* this is *better* for you" is fine sometimes, but if you're driving
acceptance of an office suite by typical users who just want to get their work
done, then surprises are generally not going to win you customers.  And if the
surprise is a wrong mathematical result that's almost impossible to catch...
well, that's never welcome.

Good luck!
