CF9 Beta: Small POI and OOXML Tip

I noticed the CF9 beta uses POI version 3.5-beta5-20090506. I am assuming it is what powers the cool new <cfspreadsheet> tag.

Now I do not know if POI is used for anything else, but the nice thing about version 3.5 is that it includes ooxml handling. That means you can use neat tricks like these, right out out of the box. No extra jars or javaLoader needed.
