Hi Michael, Stephan,

Thank you for your quick responses.

I have no better excuse than that it existed in the same component. 
Which method should I use instead (or where can I find good examples of code to use as guide)?

I should have mentioned that; I have added the item to officecfg/registry/schema/org/openoffice/Office/Calc/xcs.

That was what I didn't do, I ran make officecfg without the postprocess.
Now I no longer have the exceptions and can start testing thoroughly :)
