Hello intersol,

let us gather some facts concerning this file format of your example document.

1) Although it has the suffix XLS it is clearly no binary XLS
2) When you take a look into the W3C XML specification
http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-xml-20040204/#sec-well-formed

You see that a well-formed XML document starts with a prolog
[1]     document ::=  prolog element Misc*
[22]    prolog     ::=   XMLDecl? Misc* (doctypedecl Misc*)?
[23]    XMLDecl    ::=   '<?xml' VersionInfo EncodingDecl? SDDecl? S? '?>'

As you see for a well-formed XML document, there are no arbitrary prefix before
the prolog. A document that has these bytes is therefore not well-formed and
thereby can not be valid at all.

Although aside of this three bytes the document would be well-formed and most
likely valid. 
Therefore you have bring up an interesting bug of Microsoft Office, that we
should take into account to ease the life of StarOffice / OpenOffice.org users.
