    I agree with this characterization. The LRM should definitely be
    clarified. Since XL is only performing this transformation on an
    ASCII 0 it seems reasonable to me as well. Like Shalom said, if
    you don't want to see the leading spaces you can always use %0s.

    I assume that there are many people out there relying on an
    ASCII 0 that is embedded within a string to be displayed as a blank.
    Retaining that behavior seems to be the right thing to do. And then
    if the embedded ASCII 0's are to be converted into a space any
    leading ASCII 0's should be treated in a consistent manner.

    BTW: I am also on the alias.
