5. I briefly thought about including OpenOffice Calc (ODT) format
exporting but that seems a bit overkill as there already is a CSV export

That would be export from Dataset to ODS?
Why not simply implement a importer from Dataset for FPSpreadsheet
instead of creating a new library to handle ODS?
Because depending on a full-fledged spreadsheet technology for exporting data is
overkill.
The idea of the export routines is to be able to export data without too
much dependencies.
Which does not mean that the opposite direction (importing data from a
dataset into a spreadsheet) is not useful in it's own right, far from it.
