2.1.651 Part 1 Section 18.3.1.82, sheetPr (Sheet Properties)

a.   The standard allows any range reference for the syncRef attribute.

In Office, the syncRef attribute specifies a valid cell reference only when either the syncHorizontal or the syncVertical attributes is true.

b.   The standard states that the values of the codeName attribute are defined by the XML Schema string datatype.

Office requires the codeName attribute to be less than 32 characters with the following pattern restriction: [\p{L}\P{IsBasicLatin}][_\d\p{L}\P{IsBasicLatin}]*.

c.   The standard specifies the codeName attribute is valid for all parents.

In Office, the codeName attribute is only valid for the worksheet parent.
