--- Comment #8 from Galen Charlton <gmcharlt at gmail.com> ---
This patch breaks the ODS format.  ODS is a fancy ZIP file, and therefore needs
to be written in binary mode.  I also observed that strings got double-encoded
upon export to the Excel XML format.

Marking failed QA for the regressions.

For folks testing future version of this patch, please test importing and
exporting all four formats. I also want to highlight a part of Marcel's comment
3: to reproduce the bug, you actually don't want Chinese characters or the like
in the framework you're exporting -- you want Western European diacritical
characters that are to be found in the ISO-8859-1 character set.  As Marcel
observed, if you've got non-Latin1 characters in your string, Perl is much more
likely to emit UTF8.  Of course, you should test with non-Latin1 characters
too, but they're less likely to trigger the bug.
