Yes, you are talking about users. But I am thinking about users, and if
their implementations suddenly started changing date-dependent financial
calculations when their spreadsheet was emailed from Boston to LA, then
chaos would ensue. There is a 20-year convention in this area, with firm
user expectations in how this works. We're not going to change this in
ODF 1.2.
