When uploading a spreadsheet that contains numeric columns, the user receives a download
version that treats those columns as text.

To replicate: Upload the EPA example:
https://github.com/associatedpress/geomancer/blob/master/examples/Eqi_results_2013July22.xlsx

Select Median Household Income.

Check downloaded results. The EQI fields are now all showing number stored as text.

Under the hood we are converting everything to CSV to make the internal plumbing a bit simpler and then just writing the file back out to the format that the person gave us originally. This would be a nice feature to consider eventually but I'm going to punt it for now just to reduce complexity for the short term.
