See bug 125268 comment 37 (and following discussion till comment 40) by the
way.

The fix is not "easy". There are *lots* of things that get lost on export to
*different* formats; trying to only provide an explicit warning about extra
sheets for CSV is not a correct option: you loose columns after 256 and rows
after 64K when save to XLS; you loose formatting or special kinds of charts,
pivot tables, etc.; there are limitations in other formats - DBF, XML, lots of
them. The level of support is constantly changed, and the warning should be
designed such that it could find out what *actually* gets lost in this specific
document in this specific save, to be useful to user.
