simple document showing this bug.

While inserting a link to external data (http-URL), numbers in a html formatted
table are always interpreted as text, not as number. That is different from
former verions of LibreOffice (up to version 3.5) and OpenOffice.
So, as a result, all calculations with this data receive zeroes.
Workaround is to wrap everything in value(...) functions, but that requires a
lot of changes in a lot of tables here.

Checking "Detect special numbers (such as dates)" in the "Import
Options"-dialogue does not make any difference.
