The ‘activeSheetId [:]Specifies the sheetId of a sheet in the workbook that is the active sheet in this book view.’ proposed definition is a tautology. Moreover, the ‘active’ word suggests a time related context that cannot be accepted without further elaboration in the context of the OOXML text which focuses on a storage format, hence something static.

Provide a proper definition of the activeSheetId attribute or else remove it from the OOXML text altogether.

Proposed Disposition of DIS 29500 Comment FR-0404 (Modified: 2007-11-27) Agreed; Part 4, §3.2.3 suggests a time-related context rather than a static storage format described by OOXML. The description was meant to convey that the sheet specified by activeSheetId was that sheet that should be displayed by a spreadsheet application, if the document were ever loaded by a spreadsheet application. The following changes will be made to Part 4, §3.2.3, page 1,880, line 2, table entry for the activeSheetId attribute: Attributes Description activeSheetId (Active Sheet in Book View) Specifies the sheetID of a sheet in the workbook that identifies to a consuming application the default sheet to display. Specifies the sheetId of a sheet in the workbook that is the active sheet in this book view . Corre p s p onds to a sheetId of a sheet in the sheets collection. This attribute is required. The possible values for this attribute are defined by the XML Schema unsignedInt datatype.
