I'm not sure it is a good idea to include OpenDocument in there. Thing is : XLS and SpreadsheetML are both made in Redmond (read Microsoft labs..). So we can expect that these two formats will quite reflect each other. In this regard they might be generated with the same API. OpenDocument Spreadsheet is from a very different school. And because it is a competitor of Microsoft's formats, there is a war, different designs, etc... At the end you're gonna end up with a lot of "feature X supported by driver Y but not by Z" diclaimers I think... Personally, I would keep the Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer name, and make drivers like : - Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer_XLS - Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer_SpreadsheetML And I would create a new package for OpenDocument. Otherwise Sun and Microsoft are going to fight each other inside that package... Except if you're into wargames, I wouldn't recommend that to anybody ;-) -- og
