--- Comment #10 from SheetJS <d...@sheetjs.com> ---
The spec situation is confusing.  The old 97-2007 spec [1] (page 18) refers to
a "Simple Save" structure.  Our initial interpretation was that the Simple
files have no mini FAT.

Daniel Rentz and the OpenOffice developers [2] (page 14) may have interpreted
that as bare workbook streams:

> All document types and BIFF versions can be stored in a simple stream file, 
> most of them are always stored this way.  The only exception are BIFF5-BIFF8 
> workbook documents, which are usually stored as compound document files (see 
> below). If these documents are stored as stream files, the entire file 
> consists of the “Book” stream (BIFF5) or “Workbook” stream (BIFF8) only.
