Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: openoffice.org
The BIRT "save as Excel" feature actually produces the Excel 2003 XML
format. When that file is on the disk with a ".xls" extension and I try
to open it, either through the "file-open" dialog-box or from the
command-line with "oocalc filename.xls", the text-import wizard (for CSV
or fixed-width columns) appears.
When the file is on disk with a ".xml" extension, OO opens it as a
spreadsheet.
