Thanks for the hints.

I realized I can use ssconvert to export into HTML, and then view it in
w3m. I ended up using following rule, which works great !

shell/.gnumeric
 	Edit=true
	Open=(gnumeric %f >/dev/null 2>&1 &)
	View=%view{ascii} ssconvert --export-type=Gnumeric_html:html40 %f
fd://1 | w3m -T text/html
