That isn't silly, it corresponds exactly with the description you can find at

There term silly seems much more suitable for that, btw.

Btw., it shows that changing the extension to .csv won't help until
one has registered an application for .csv-files in windows. 
And in fact, the "spreadsheet"-link showed up in my IE, no download window
came up...
