I see the "Text CSV (*.csv;*.txt)" now.  When I checked the File | Open ... dialog before, the 
scroll bar was off the right of my display [;<).  That is *way* down there, huh?

I am surprised there is no File | Import ... Calc menu item for this

I might be mistaken, but in LibO/OOo importing (opening from non-ODF)
is done with File->Open, so the lack of that (Import) menu entry is
not such a big issue.

The problem is that both Writer and Calc accept .txt, according to the
selections in the File | Open menu, but there is apparently no way to
prevent the .txt from going to Writer from File | Open even if the
Spreadsheets list of extensions has been selected.

There *is* a way, at least here with 3.3.3 (version details in
signature). If you pick the right file type (in the File -> Open file
picker), "Text CSV (*.csv;*.txt)" it opens in calc, no matter if the
name ends with .txt or with .csv.

The CSV option is there and works. But there *is* an unexpected
behavior, when you pick the "Spreadsheets" filter -- it opens in Writer.
