Not such a good idea after all.

Microsoft Excel cannot read documents with default namespaces (and maybe even
documents where the namespace is not the normal string). I suspect they are not
using a real XML parser :-(


The error "Excel found unreadable content in 'filename'. Do you want to recover
the contents of this workbook?" is shown.
Accepting the offer to recover the document's contents strips out all
formatting and styles.

I think Excel compatability should be a higher priority than file size.

Perhaps there could be two FILESAVE codepaths, a 'pure' one for adhering to the
specs and writing sexy XML, and another for emitting 'MS Office compatable'
OpenDocument files (bug #53998 filed requesting such).
This feature request would then apply to the sexy code path only.
