What you need to do is

1) You CAN'T use the Save button
2) You must always Save As (although you can overwrite your csv file)
3) In the Save As dialog, always check the bottom box "Edit filter
settings"
4) On the next dialog choose "Keep current format" (meaning save as CSV)
5) On the Export Text File dialog, make sure you UNCHECK the "Save cell
content as shown" option (this tells Calc not to save long date as the
text you see on screen but save the value) and CHECK the "Quote all text
cells"  option (just to make sure all text is properly saved

Works like a charm.

That's it. Since you want to save as CSV you will have to repeat this
procedure at save time and the format procedure at opening...  I can live
very well with that.

Hope this helps ;) It certainly does. Thank you very much. 

Oh, and by the way, can you confirm that data validation does not work with
CSV files?
