Excel implements two Microsoft file format standards:
ECMA-376
ISO 29500
Those are not the same and even incompatible in parts. It is correct, that Microsoft tries to use ISO 29500 more, but most files (2007) still are ECMA-376.
But yes, they kinda would have to change their shitty, ISO-incompatible ISO “standard” to fix this issue this way.
In order to do that I think they would first have to ratify a standards change to the Excel format, which is open.
Uh, I mean kinda…
