No doubt.

Nope, as you self explain in c7 - some data is merely stripped and that ONLY in
the exported document - there is no loss of data on export at all.

However did you read my usecase 2?

It is the other-way round, namely if you use 'Save as' and keep continuing
editing.
I just checked again in a recent LO-calc version:
Save as csv, click warning away (what else should one do, it is the only way to
"export" as csv).
csv document is rendered/displayed exactly odc document, there is no hint of
data-loss on Save.

If you are afraid of unaware data-loss on export, a warning (like the one on
"Save as"), could be added.


> UX-Team: If you disagree, please reopen.

Actually I disagree.
Just closing this provides no solution/improvement at all to my two very
real-world scenarios.
