You said it is: "the kind of XML which can be opened directly by Excel".
That could be an indication that it's an Office XML document, which is
why I mentioned it. Now we know it's not Office XML, but still don't
know what type of XML it is. Obviously, more information about the XML
document is required here. So can you tell us more about this mysterious
XML file?  Where did it come from? What application created it? What
else do you know about it?
