I'm generating Excel output from XML, and have a problem with styles.
The fragment looks like:
...
<gmr:Style Format="General" PatternColor="0:0:0" Back="F800:0:0" 
Fore="FFFF:FFFF:FFFF" Hidden="0" Locked="1" Indent="0" Shade="1" Orient="1" 
WrapText="0" VAlign="2" HAlign="1">
<gmr:Font StrikeThrough="0" Underline="0" Italic="0" Bold="0" 
Unit="14">Helvetica</gmr:Font>
-
        <gmr:StyleBorder>
<gmr:Top Style="0"/>
<gmr:Bottom Style="0"/>
<gmr:Left Style="0"/>
<gmr:Right Style="0"/>
<gmr:Diagonal Style="0"/>
<gmr:Rev-Diagonal Style="0"/>
</gmr:StyleBorder>
</gmr:Style>
...

If I save and gzip the XML file with that in, and load it into Gnumeric, all 
is well (one black line, one red line). However, if I now run that through 
the HSSF seriliser (with Cocoon), the XLS file produced has the second line 
as white-on-white text.

I think this may be a bug in the seriliser therefore ?
