So, it seemed logical to conclude that the xml Gnumeric outputs is not valid
as far as POI is concerned and I visited the Gnumeric website to see if it
would be possible - easilly - to alter the format of this output. As I
suspected, Gnumeric uses filters to convert files into different formats,
but I could not find one in the list
(http://projects.gnome.org/gnumeric/doc/sect-file-formats.shtml) that
supports saving files in Excel's OpenXML format. The complete list of
filters is;


I agree that the OOXML produced by Gnumeric is strange but both Excel and 
OpenOffice tolerate it, so should POI do.

I committed the fix in r819106.
