Might play with it later, but this is sorta what I am talking about. You have a bunch of dependencies and the like. The idea that even the end-user, not just you putting it together, can do it with just one file is a myth.

Right... what Numbers offers is unique. As far as I know no other spreadsheet offers it.

You whined about dependencies. Numbers is a dependency or the file is worthless.
