<pre>An attempt to open an MS Excel 2003 XML format file that includes the xml
version tag <?xml version="1.0"?> on the first line fails, and an attempt to
import the file as text is made. Alternatively,
$soffice --headless --infilter="MS Excel 2003 XML" --convert-to ods file.xls
Entity: line 1: parser error : Start tag expected, '<' not found
<?xml version="1.0"?>
^
Error: source file could not be loaded
When the first line is deleted from the file, it opens correctly.
An example of this kind of file can be dowloaded from
