OK, I'm starting to get mildly annoyed now. We have identified one 
failure case connected with multiline fields. Even in the multiline 
case, I expect that the embedded newlines will usually match those of 
the CSV file, in which case there will be no failure. It's a very big 
step from there to the far more general "can't load data exported from 
Excel". Or did you have some other limitation in mind?

FWIW, I don't make a habit of using multiline fields in my spreadsheets 
- and some users I have spoken to aren't even aware that you can have 
them at all.
