Nothing like that.  I'm just hoping to merge up things like the
Attributes (that are basicly WorkbookView) vs the UI settings like
prefered window size.  That should help clarify things when I add
some of the XLish flags like
    - recalc type
    - date convention (1900 vs 1904)
    - precision as displayed

I'm working on 2 writes now to address some goals for the new
    - structured format
    - and the xml in gnumeric

I'll cc you folk on the discussion when it comes out.

Thanks
