What LibreOffice Calc produces would have to be smarter. Now it just gives the table markup + a <style> with e.g.

		body,div,table,thead,tbody,tfoot,tr,th,td,p { font-family:"Liberation Sans"; font-size:x-small }
		a.comment-indicator:hover + comment { background:#ffd; position:absolute; display:block; border:1px solid black; padding:0.5em;  } 
		a.comment-indicator { background:red; display:inline-block; border:1px solid black; width:0.5em; height:0.5em;  } 
		comment { display:none;  }</style>

... which will affect the whole document. Not a lot we can do about that, short of perhaps removing all <style> nodes for pastes.

Thanks Magnus, Do you suggest to contact LibreOffice team?

I'm not sure what the right solution is. Having the styles defined for each element gives the right (original) view. But could be quite elaborate and many times unwanted too.
