Excel would open that just fine - it could care less about numeric vs alpha
in the ZIP column.

Excel does care, often more than we would like. Excel has a very
strong opinion about what should be a number, and it's extremely
awkward (in a CSV) to convince Excel to treat "numeric-looking" data
as character.
