This page will be of use: http://www.oasis-open.org/specs/index.php

It is the OASIS "OpenDocument" XML standards, the one that OpenOffice use.

I can't say I have every integrated OOo and PHP, but being an OOo user for a couple of years I have to say that the main reason I bailed on Excel long ago was because it was so horrible at importing/exporting tab delimited data to/from spreadsheets. That an the fact that you can easily change case of text inOOs Calc makes it much more programmer friendly.
