David:

Thank you for adding the conversion from xls to JSON.  It works  
great.  I have an associated question; after much testing I realize  
that I cannot use dates in the spreadsheet that is used to create  
JSON under Babel that include the month and day and year (e.g.  
12/13/06 or 13-Dec-06) and that you cannot use numbers in the label  
column of the spreadsheet.  Is there a way and correct format to use  
dates in the spreadsheet or some creative alternative, if so what is  
the way?  Not being able to use numbers in the label column is not a  
problem, though I wanted to make people aware of it so they know to  
use an alternative to numbers.
