I didn't realize that the major grid lines are different from the convention as
well, until now.  Your analysis makes sense, let's ping the Chart meta bug and
see if we can attract any developer into this discussion.

There is also bug 62924 that have discussions about the same topic, though it
seems there are multiple issues in the comments there (labels for minor grids,
default values for major and minor grids, upcoming ODF standard, etc.), so I'm
leaving this as a seperate bug for now.
