It occurred to me that using Mark Linton's Glyph concept would work
well in designing a spread sheet.  In fact now that I've skipped to 
his paper's conclusion Mark and Paul specificly mention using glyphs
for  spread sheet cells.  The paper in question is Glyphs: Flyweight
Objects for Use Interfaces, Paul R Calder and Mark A. Linton, Stanford.
The paper is ftp'able from interviews.stanford.edu, pub/doc/glyphs.ps.Z
