Description:
The option to export to Excel is great. However, the format it saves in is Excel XML, which is a little unexpected.

How to repeat:
N/A

Suggested fix:
The ability to generate the actual binary spreadsheet would be great. My personal usage is:

- writing a query
- exporting to excel
- handing spreadsheet off to another person to fill in a column
- reading spreadsheet back in and updating the database

If you're curious, I'm using Perl and the CPAN module Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::Simple (http://search.cpan.org/dist/Spreadsheet-ParseExcel-Simple/lib/Spreadsheet/ParseExcel/Simpl...).

Granted this is a limitation of the module and not the query browser per se.
