No, that extension isn't sufficient. When one of my business partners sends me
an Excel spreadsheet by email, I need to be able to simply double-click it and
trust that when it opens, the numbers will be the same that he used. Having to
run a program or the like just in case he used text instead of a number does not
cut it.

And as long as this bug isn't fixed, only Microsoft Office satisfies that need.

That is why I proposed earlier to remove support for .XLS altogether - broken
support like this is worse than not supporting Excel at all.
