Can you elaborate a little on this fundamental design flaw? As a naive and unfortunately focused elsewhere personality, I don't immediately know of a better model for creating a spreadsheet. Is it "just" a problem of sparsity? Or is there a much more sophisticated method for memory sharing of various similar cell attributes, perhaps analogous to CSS?

Thanks,
