as Jaroslaw already mentioned, your patch would introduce a dependency on 
kexi. So, packagers wouldn't be able to ship kspread without kexi.

Without having had a look into the details, this could be avoided by defining 
an interface to kexi as it is done for kchart. You'll find this interface in 
koffice/interfaces.

But frankly speaking, I would prefer this realized as an import filter rather 
than a plugin. That's were it belongs to.

Regards,
Stefan
