--- Comment #16 from Lionel Elie Mamane <lio...@mamane.lu> ---
OK, the situation now is inconsistent, and this is indeed a bug. The "start
date" (or epoch) should be the same in all situations.

But:

1) I don't feel bound to make the epoch 30/12/1899,
   rather than 1/1/1900 or 13/9/1515 or any other date.
   Note that in Calc, the epoch is (per-file!) setting between three choices.

2) I don't feel bound to make the integer be 'days since the epoch'
   rather than 'seconds or hours or ... since the epoch'

The existing reportbuilder seems to have 1/1/1900 as epoch, so I'm unifying all
cases in the example document to that. Maybe other corner cases are still
wrong, but the true complete fix goes through fixing bug 63478 first, and then
Report Builder stays out of date-to-integer conversion: if it gets a date, it
puts a date, and formatting takes care of making a number of it, and
vice-versa.
