I perfectly understand the reasoning here. Still, I agree with comment 6; and I
feel that limiting ourselves for compatibility reasons is too ... limiting.
Except for the compatibility, there seems to exist nothing limiting the
possible number of subformats with conditions, so having arbitrary number of
conditional subformats, plus one subformat without condition (for all other
numerical values), plus one for text, seems like unambiguous superset of
existing syntax; and for export to foreign formats like XLS(X), it looks
reasonable to just drop the excessive subformats, so that only two first
conditional subformats plus unconditional plus textual are kept. In the end, we
don't limit ourselves to 256 columns just to keep compatibility with XLS?
