[Libreoffice-ux-advise] [Bug 145384] Writer table cells have address scheme that differs from Calc, "A-Z,a-z,AB-AZ,..." vs "A-Z,AA-AZ,BA-BZ,..."; lowercase cell refs are more error prone for cell formulas

ODF conformity is prime likewise compatibility. It should be possible to open
documents with old/wrong and new/correct references in upcoming and old
versions.

OTOH, whether a1 is the first or the 27th column would be unclear to users. I
agree that most tables are shorter. So perhaps a clear cut is better than
fiddling around with compatibility.

But that's rather a decision for the ESC. And we gave enough input.
