Hey Folks:
Having an issue with the Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer package not working for
cells with contents larger than 255 characters. The package supposedly
supports a more recent format that can handle larger cells, but the files
it outputs are invalid. Top that off with binary output being a total
pain anyway.
So, I am taking the API of Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer and changing it to
output SpreadsheetML. SpreadsheetML is an XML format created by our
"friends" at Microsoft to represent Excel spreadsheets.

My question to y'all is what do you think the package should be named? My
thought is "Spreadsheet_SpreadsheetML_Writer." But perhaps it should be
"Spreadsheet_ML_Writer" or "XML_SpreadsheetML_Writer" or something else
entirely.
Thanks,
--Dan
