Roberto,

Just a couple of quick notes on your response.

I think this isn't true because an Office file is in ZIP format, with 
the XML packaged inside of that ZIP.

Looking at the code list for 2.0 in the UBL 2.1 PRD2 package:

  http://docs.oasis-open.org/ubl/prd2-UBL-2.1/cva/UBL-DefaultDTQ-2.1.html#d4e1

... I see the entry for Word is actually:

  application/msword

... whereas you are correct that the entry for Excel is:

  application/vnd.ms-excel

Thank you for pointing out the version-independent nature of MIME 
types ... I did not realize this was the case.
