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. http://www.microsoft.com/office/xml/default.mspx 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.

Spreadsheet_ML_Writer would make the most sense. Side question: can Oo read them ? Arnaud.
