I've found the easiest way for us was to use the "XML
Spreadsheet" option (available via the Save As->Type drop-down in
at least Excel 2003 if not 2000, and readable in 2007 too).  It's
fairly easy to reverse-engineer from an exported example, and
much cleaner than OOXML or pure XLS format.  It's pretty easy to
turn into a Django template too.  Most importantly for my uses,
it's possible to do things like keep leading zeros, which Excel
likes to dump from CSV/Tab files.
