--- Comment #10 from Mark B <[email protected]> ---
Using Excel to convert the file from Binary to OOXML is not of course
infallible but I do find it useful as it makes it so simple to examine the
files contents. Also, I think that the data will be preserved quite well,
problems and all, as the process relies entirely upon Excel itself.

On a similar note, will you have to support both file formats - binary and
OOXML? If so, it is possible to accomplish this using a single codebase as
there is a common parent class for both the HSSF and XSSF streams. It is
becoming more common for developers to write code that uses the classes in the
ss.usermodel package - Workbook, Sheet, Row, Cell, etc - safe in the knowledge
that it will handle either file format successfully.

Finally, I cannot really comment on including your code into the API. The
better place to ask this question would be the dev list.
