Makes sense to me. I think we nearly did that back when we added the XML support, so probably overdue!

I propose to note this as "incompatible change" in the release notes of the next version.

Given the NPOIFS switch underway, and the removal of some deprecated methods from that, seems a good time to do one or two other breaking changes too!

Any reason we should not do this change?

The only thing I can suggest trying is a search for non-POI implementations of POITextExtractor on the internet, in posts and in source repos. If you can't see evidence of any that we don't produce, it should be a lot safer than if you find evidence of lots of people doing their own

Thanks
Nick
