WORKAROUND

I assume this file is being computer-generated in XML and that is why that
format is chosen rather than true .xls format.

I suggest that the file be renamed to have extension .xml (since that is even
what Microsoft Office 2013 and Excel prefer).

I further suggest that the file be opened in Excel and save as .xls as a way to
make a form that can be interchanged and also used in OpenOffice without
requiring Java and an under-used conversion.
