Hi,
Thanks all for your ideas.
I agree - it makes sense to me to improve and use OGR for this purpose.
I also tested the idea with the clipboard. On Linux Ubuntu it works
fine if one copies from the QGIS table and pastes in
LibreOffice/OpenOffice Calc. On pasting, it opens the CSV dialogue for
importing.
FYI: for use with Python Plugins Jürgen added the xlrd/xlwt Python
module to the OSGeo4W distribution. With these modules at hand it is
very easy to read and write basic XLS files. Not a solution for the
core, but definitely interesting for Python Plugins.

To add to Even's suggestion,
I think it would be best to improve the xls driver in OGR and
integrate that into QGis, rather than develop a standalone QGis
plugin.
That way you make both better!

FYI, Sandro Furieri has created a lightweight FreeXL library that
can read XLS
files. It can be integrated with spatialite (through a VirtualXLS
module), or
standalone. I've developed in GDAL/OGR 1.9.0 a OGR driver that
relies on it. See
http://gdal.org/ogr/drv_xls.html for the details and limitations.
Best regards,
Even
