      Description

      Reads: "The <table:iteration> element enables formulas with iterative (or cyclic) references to be calculated after a specific number of iterations. If this iterative calculations are not enabled, a formula with an iterative reference in a table causes an error message."

      What is the status of this element in light of the formula proposal?

      When you look at the attributes:

      table:status - true/false on enabling iterations

      table:maximum-difference - different in values where iteration stops

      table:steps - maximum number of iterations (defaults to 100)

      Think about what happens if these conflict with the iterations set in the formula. By a user who is quite unaware that these attributes even exist.

      What to do about the error message part as well. (Bonus problem)
