If these are the only arguments against this feature then please reopen the
bug. Because that aren't arguments. With that the most feature requests could
be closed.
MSO Excel is a good comparison when a feature is missing in LibO, but not for a
completely new feature. LibO should be more than an Excel clone.
To the technical worry:
Table cells with their cell styles contain a text:p element which can have a
text:span element if there is some manual formatting of the cell content (that
is a fact today). I can't see any difference to Writer in this case,
principally. Even it could be possible to have paragraph and character styles
within a cell style! What cool things you could do with this ...
@Regina, what's your thought regarding ODF spec?</pre>
