--- Comment #9 from jan d <[email protected]> ---
It is possible that the warning can be improved, but I think the gains are
rather limited. What many applications do that face similar problems is putting
these formats into "export" rather than into "save (as)". 

So "save" holds formats that cover all basic functionality; the ones that are
not native and don't cover all functionality get a warning (non-ODF spreadsheet
formats like xlsx). "Export" holds formats that are lossy in some significant
way (no multiple sheets, no formulas etc.). It also would be coherent with the
need to "import" csv files (not all exportable formats can be imported though,
export to image is one-way, since we probably don’t want to ship OCR).

Risks: People would need to get used to finding csv (and similar formats) at
another place.
