Date formats in XML for Excel Spreadsheet download?

Hi all,

Having trouble find the right XML format for downloading data to an excel spreadsheet.

The user would like the date in "short date" or "long date" format.
I'm starting with a 6 digit number. I can get it converted to iso no problem.

But I'll be darned if I can find the right xml to excel format.

I've tried various combinations including the latest:
This is in the header:
<Style ss:ID="s21">
<NumberFormat ss:Format="MM/DD/YY"/>
</Style>

This is the detail:
<Cell ss:StyleId="s21"><Data ss:Type="Date">2013-09-16</Data></Cell>

I'm googling and finding lots of specific examples - particularly one's that include a full date timestamp - but nothing with just the date. And nothing that really explains the mapping.

Thanks.
Vicki Wilson
