Problem description:Comments are not exported at all or not exported correctly to Excel format. This bad behaviour does not appear in OpenOffice 3.2.0.

Steps to reproduce: (In WinXP, LO 3.6.0.4, MSOffice XP Excel) 
1. Create a new ods file and insert a comment in a random cell.
2. Save the file as xls.
3. Open the file with Excel (Office XP version)

Current behavior: Excel can not "see" the comment. Further, if you open again the original ods file, make a slight modification (i.e. move the comment around) and export again the file in xls format, the comment will appear but with no connection with the cell. Excel will crash.

Expected behavior: Correct exportation. Further, the above steps are not produce an error in OpenOffice.org 3.2.0.
