OpenOffice.org implements OpenFormula. You should raise the issue there:
http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/tc-announce/201007/msg00004.html

The latest OpenFormula draft
http://docs.oasis-open.org/office/v1.2/cd05/OpenDocument-v1.2-cd05-part2.odt
does the following:
- in 6.4.6, it defines a^b as POWER(a,b) with the provision that a and b
shouldn't both be zero.
- but in 6.16.46, it allows both a and b to be zero, stating that 
POWER(0,0) is implementation-defined, but shall be one of 0,1, or an Error.

So OOo respects the standard here, even though the result is clearly
mathematically wrong. The way to initiate a change in the standard is described
in the links above.
