Hi Luke,
thank you for pointing to the code.

it seems to me, that the element <table:table-columns> is useless.
Exists any situation where LibreOffice writes such element?
I can see only two places in the code which will emit this element:
1. A chart object (e.g. in a spreadsheet) contains a <table:table>
representing the data for the chart. LibreOffice always emits
<table:table-columns> for this table.
Indeed. I can generate it from scratch. Fortunately LibreOffice can read
the chart too, if I remove the <table:table-columns> element. So older
versions would be able to read charts, if the element is removed in a
newer version.
2. A database (odb) file can contain reports containing tables, which
will be emitted with <table:table-columns>.
I was not able to generate such document. I have tried it with report as
text document, report as spreadsheet and with the old kind of reports
from OOo2.4.3. I always have got only <table:table-column> elements.
What is the purpose of this element?
In both of these cases the <table:table-columns> simply wraps all the
<table:table-column> elements, which looks redundant to me.
I think it is redundant. I consider to propose, that the element is
removed or at least deprecated in ODF 1.3.
BTW, the OASIS-issues are
https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/OFFICE-3839
https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/OFFICE-3838
Kind regards
Regina
