A good write up on the issue and practice in programming languages and
applications is here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/0%5E0#Zero_to_the_zero_power
My recommendation would be:
1) If current ODF-supporting applications (OpenOffice, KSpread, Excel,
Symphony, Gnumeric, Google Spreadsheets, etc.) agree on a value, then we
should document it that way.
2) If there is no agreement in current spreadsheet usage, then indicate
that it is "implementation-defined" or "undefined."
