Enabling "tab" as the delimiter has nothing to do with the problem.  The
file isn't CSV or tab-separated-variable;  it's XML conforming to the
"SpreadsheetML" schema.  When I rename it to ".xml" and open it with
OpenOffice,  I don't see any option in the interface to enable or
disable "tab" as a delimiter.

One difference I notice between the BIRT-produced file and a file re-
saved from Excel is that BIRT puts whitespace between the <Cell> and
<Data> tags.  OOo produces a file without any whitespace at all.
However,  whitespace there shouldn't matter;  Excel doesn't care about
it.
