The output is not of type xls, its xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><?mso-application progid="Excel.Sheet"?>
Excel gives an error message if the file is renamed to xls and opened.
I think there is no change required.

Thanks atrol.

The file format must be the old/deprecated/unused WordML XML format described at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Office_XML_formats

So you're right, that file format should be named .xml

Resolving as no change necessary.
