If I get it right, LibreOffice should comply with ODFF, before it complies with Microsoft Excel. A review of the functions description can be set as an easy-hack.

I am suprised on this statement. I don't see it in Brazil at all. On a side note, I noticed ODFF had in the past funciton not available in Excel. At the translation time, I had to create a new name for the function. Later the function was introduced to Excel and, gess what?... with another name. I was asked by the community to change the name to comply with Excel... Rats! I do this in Android system.
