	Oh - I added some details there wrt. what we want to do for
interoperability reasons. To some degree the corner-cases in
spreadsheets are expected to be interoperable, while each of them can be
quite surprising :-)

	eg. what do you get if you multiply an error by a boolean ? ;-) sadly
some people rely (often inadvertently) on these corner cases behaviours
and complain when they don't do as they expect.

	HTH,

		Michael.
