So it looks like I could make my extracted numbers match what the user
sees in Excel by dropping significant digits beyond the 15th. If we go
down that route I'll consider submitting a patch, or at least some
JavaDoc pointing out the trap.

If you could provide such a patch, that'd be great!

Thanks
