(My apologies if this is the second time you've seen this. I originally sent it last week but it looks like it never got through.)
For a while now, we've had our own customization of org.apache.poi.hssf.model.Sheet that adds a ProtectRecord (and sets the protection to true) because we want to create protected sheets within our workbooks. Yes, we know that there is no password protection. We just want the users that download the files to be reminded what they are supposed to be changing and what they aren't. Before we go to the trouble of submitting a patch, I thought I'd ask whether there is a reason that Sheet.createSheet() should *not* add the ProtectRecord *with protection false* as does Workbook.createWorkbook()? Our proposed patch would be something along the lines of copying the code from Workbook.createProtect() into Sheet and then calling it from Sheet.createSheet(). Our code would then fish out that record and switch the protection setting for the sheets on which we need the protection.
