Warning when saving XML Spreadsheet 2003 with Excel 2007

I'm using Excel 2007 to edit an XML Spreadsheet 2003 file. Every time I
save the file it pops up a warning dialog saying that some features may not
be supported. I know I'm not using any features that the XML Spreadsheet
doesn't support so is there any way to disable the warning? It's very
annoying.

And would be even more annoying if the saved the file only to find some
features had been lost

Have you never heard of the boy who cried "wolf"?

Error messages for non-errors are a bad thing, because they encourage
the user to ignore that message under all circumstances. So the one
time that it's actually appropriate, it gets ignored because the
multiple false positives trained the user to ignore it.

Ya, I did the work. I made sure I was saving my data in a format that
supported all of my needs. Now I'd like it to let me do that without
annoying me every time I hit Save.
