The ‘Users create custom views when there is more than one way of viewing the workbook.’ and ‘enables the user to switch between the views easily’ proposition define custom views in the context of a behavioral model that the OOXML does not define.
Provide a proper definition of customWorkbookViews.

Proposed Disposition of DIS 29500 Comment FR-0407 (Modified: 2007-12-18) Agreed; the difference between customWorkbookViews and bookViews is not explained fully. The following changes will be made to Part 4, §3.2.4, page 1,885, lines 3235: This element defines the collection of custom workbook views that are defined for this workbook. A customWorkbookView is similar in concept to a workbookView (§3.2.30) in that its attributes contain settings related to the way that the workbook should be displayed on a screen by a spreadsheet application. [Note: Whilst a workbookView is intended to store the way the workbook window should be displayed by a spreadsheet application, customWorkbookView elements are intended to allow the user to switch between a selection of customWorkbookView items defining window and content display options. end note] A customWorkbookView contains a greater number of settings (e.g., the presence of a formula bar; visibility of hidden data; whether or not to show comments) and is named. [Example: A workbook which is used by two different departments might contain two customWorkbookView elements one where the comments and hidden data are not shown, and one where they are. Users may switch between the customWorkbookView items according to the department in which they work. end example] There is no limit on the number of customWorkbookView elements that a user can create be contained within a SpreadsheetML instance . Users create custom views when there is more than one way of viewing the workbook. Each view on the workbook data might be complex and time consuming to set up. Naming and persisting view settings enables the user to switch between the views easily. Similar Comments: FR-0406 ,
