Quick thought on your blueprint: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/dhis2/+spec/spreadsheet-dataentry
There are so many nice grid controls out there and they are getting better and faster all the time. Couldn't we relatively easily implement grid-like data entry along the lines you suggest by using something like jqGrid (http://www.trirand.com/blog/) - seeing that jquery is our blessed javascript framework? Looking at the demos http://www.trirand.com/jqgrid35/jqgrid.html I'd say that doing exactly what you describe would be pretty straightforward inside DHIS2 - which means we could also implement min-max etc and regulate access to the database through our api. And with a bit of artful dodging you could make it look sufficiently excel-like to keep the punters with the "special editions" happy. I'm not volunteering - just adding my 2c.
