This file has invalid xml:

$ xmllint File2.xls
File2.xls:1: parser error : CharRef: invalid decimal value

                                                                               ^

Not sure whether we really want to support invalid xml files, even if Excel supports them. But given that we already have some similar bugs (put in 'See Also'), I'll leave this bug open for now.

The file opens fine now using the master branch build with orcus 0.15.0.  I've added "support" for (technically invalid) XML with leading whitespaces.
