Sorry - but these are the problems of this file:
a) It's not xls - because it's not a binary file.
b) It's not XML - because it contains 3 binary signs.
c) If MS generate such files realy - might be we have to react and try to 
workaround 
this "bug" of MS.

The only bug I would accept here is: if these 3 bytes was removed from the file 
and 
the extension was not set right then this file is loaded into the writer a 
plaint text 
everytime. Thats why our txt filter has no real detection and cant differen 
between 
ASCII - all UniCode formated files - and even binaries. This cant be solved 
realy 
because nobody cant write such detection because it has to check all 64 K 
CodePages existing of this worl. Which by the way will affect detection time 
and 
will increase it up to "never ending" .-)
The only workaround for this: ask the text filter explicitly at the end of the 
detection 
process so it can overrule any other detection service. That would help to 
solve 
other detection problems as well.
I will file such issue to myself and try to fix it for OOo 2.0.3. (number of 
this new 
issue will be set as depedency to this isseu here later).
