After copious (liberal? welcome?) amounts of beer, and various other Japanese fermented beverages....
Shared strings is easy - just another xml file and a relation, and a small re-write to how Cell.rb does to_xml.

Ill start picking at this as I move forward with encryption / password protection. I think the harder part will be managing column widths once repeated strings are extracted to a separate object. I've had enough trouble with that as it is. Regardless of MS's spec.

Can you post the test failures? Anything short of a 'cant write that file because I don't have permissions' is frankly unacceptable. Even across versions.

.16 is still all 1.x.x so nothing should break.
