The mini-icons are just an example (even though I would be fine if it was
implemented that way - just a little larger)

Ideas behind this:
- The bar to edit the comment is really obvious. The comment field does not
really say "Hey, BTW: You can customise me!". I used comments for years before
even noticing it. Thereby a *only* having the options at the top is something
that is may not as effective as it could be.
- The icons next to the window (or as mini-toolbar) is something that tells the
user right away that they can do more with their comments. This could get into
people's workflow, so you should be able to turn it off.
- I (who considers himself has advanced user) would be more than likely use
hotkeys as much as possible. So I wouldn't be happy if there was only the edit
bar at the top or the floating mini-toolbar. Yet I can understand that new
users (or maybe even experienced ones) won't know or are not willing to hunt in
the documentation for features.

That Calc currently works the same as Excel (or Excel works currently the same
as Calc) is not something I would take in account for such a feature.
For file saving as *.xlsx you would have to, but not as general rule to copy or
keep out what Excel does or doesn't do ("The great should not be constrained by
the small").
