sorry stephen, its 2007
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Office_Open_XML
And URA expects .xls files, not .xlsx
We tried doing this with OpenOffice, but there is so much VBScript in the files
that you cant generate the required file. Which is super inconvenient!

Donald,
The files may be binary but they have an XML equivalent which is the text
equivalent of the files.
Its with Office 2003 that MSFT started using an XML file format

Donald,
Actually it may be better for you to look at the final output that is
uploaded. Since the URA form is in Excel 2003, its in an XML format hence is
a basic text file.
Excel 2003 XLS files are a binary format.
