Among the many requests we get to compose or decompose some of the basic functionality built into SharePoint 2007 - we get this one a lot.  For some very valid business reasons, Edit in Datasheet or Export to Spreadsheet (Excel / Access) violate some of the metadata rules or workflow customizations that may affect metadata.  I think this is due to the lack of robust field level security tied out to the users or groups in SharePoint.  It's not too hard to build this into SharePoint (most serious web applications have field level security), and I've even helped build field level security into a few widely employed web applications.
