I can say for certain that if we want to support Numbers we need to implement shared strings. Doable but expensive in the generation process. The spec dictates that readers must support both shared strings as well as inline strings but I am leaning towards making shared strings an option in generation as Numbers requires it. Locked into a corporate phtttthhh meeting tonight but I'll poke the Dropbox as soon as I can. I wonder if this will solve the gd issue as well.
