Given is a excel file with some date / time values. Values have the systems
default formatting (long date, short date, time).

Calc fails to import this "system default" but uses the (us-english) fallback
instead. 
You can use
http://de.openoffice.org/source/browse/*checkout*/de/qa/testfiles/calc/calc-1-109242.xls
as example (see table "Datums- und ZEitformate")

The cause is, that Excel uses an (undocumented) escape sequence for "system
default". This is 
[$-F800] for date, long system default
[$-F400] for time, system default

seems like some sort of bitvector, but I could not find a documentation. This
does not only affect binary filters but Office 2003 XML and Office Open XML as 
well.
