I read the spec., and while the tag itself IS required, it's value can
be misleading.

Also, I inspected an ODS file exported from Excel 07 and found that
the value could vary wildly, although there are several areas of
non-compliance with Microsoft Office's OpenDocument capabilities at
present.

Thus, I have decided to not rely on this tag for import purposes, but
to continue exporting it. I will be making the changes necessary to
compensate for not knowing the value of the widest column soon.
