--- Comment #10 from Mike Kaganski <mikekaganski at hotmail.com> ---
Using a custom template in this case is not correct.
Custom template is a complete document (with full set of options available to
Calc, including formatting, sheets number and *content*), that copy is used
when creating a new document. It is neither applicable to opening existing
documents (of any kind), nor appropriate because possible template content
(values pre-existing in cells, or more than a single sheet) and formatting
would not save back to the CSV - so opening a CSV with all that fancy
formatting would suggest users to customize the view, save, and expect it to be
kept.

If one wants to have some fixed layout for a CSV, one should consider adding
the CSV linked as a sheet into an ODS, being able then to apply any formatting
available.

The question about applicability of "Font Settings for HTML, Basic and SQL
Sources" mentioned in comment 3 is different from the one raised here; it might
be reasonable, but needs own proposal.

WONTFIX/INVALID IMO.
