--- Comment #5 from Justin L <jl...@mail.com> ---
It could be a very bad security practice to export passwords between formats -
especially XLS which will have weaker protections. Calc doesn't actually know
your password - just the hash, so it can't convert from one hash to another
without knowing the original password anyway.

The only option would be to prompt for a new password for the edit protection
when saving to a different format. That would get awfully complicated, checking
on every save whether formats are being switched and passwords are missing etc.
I think this can safely be marked as WONTFIX.
