I hadn't thought about modifying the ODF data storage spec. It was my 
expectation that some 
combination of must show and can show data elements could imply engineering 
modulus, however a 
new data element for modulus of the exponent is a cleaner way to do it.

The expected behavior for ###. format is numbers in the range from 1. to 999.  
Anything outside those 
ranges would cause the exponent to be renormalized (+/- 3) to scale the integer 
portion of the number 
back into range. (with ##. the exponent modulus would be by 2, and for ####. 
the modulus would be 
4, etc.)

Excel remembers the formatting as being 'custom' for each cell. I've written 
and reread data files to 
check this.

As for SI suffixes that will require more work to specify.
