I suggest to check if OOXML restricts it. Sticking to the current Excel 
behavior is reasonable as an implementation; but hardcoding the existing 
*implementation detail* of Excel as a standard's wording would make it 
hard to adapt, when Excel extends the implementation - it would need a 
breaking change or a new chart class. (I don't know if such an extension 
could make sense in principle, so this is just a general remark, maybe 
nonsensical in this context - sorry for that.)
