Excellent post. I'd also argue that the Excel team would do the data analysis world a huge favor by eliminating the "General" datatype interpolation guesswork Excel does when pasting data or opening a CSV file. I'm convinced more data files have been ruined by uninformed users opening a CSV in Excel and then saving it, than any other method.
