Will not be implemented! There is already the general warning about lost
information when saving to xls and xlsx! The number of error/warning messages
that we would need to implement for different features is just too large.

Not with some rework and I will not spend unnecessary time in the xls
import/export filter.

No! Excel 2007 does not support OpenFormula! 2010 does not support it either.
They started supporting it with 2013.

I will not look into that format either.

OOXML and 2007/2010 Excel XML are the same for us. Only Excel 2007 can't handle
OOXML files!

You can try with the new startsWith format in LibO 4 that is equivalent to the
corresponding OOXML format. It is saved in an ODF extension and should export
to OOXML fine.

As mentioned I will only care about the problems with ODF and OOXML.
