Run the comparison against the most recent version of XL that you
can get access to.  However, if the XL answer is wrong we will
flag the mismatch as known, and ignore it.

Your testing sheets are useful now in catching current limitations
and incompatibilities.   However, they will be much more useful in
the future as the development tree opens and we start changing
things.  You're building a regression suite.
