Right off the bat, those 'data' tags, and the 'ss:Type' attribute are 
redundant. That information is not in the CSV, it just assumes that there is 
one datum per cell, and that they're all numbers. Make a schema, or throw in 
two lines at the top of the xml doc to establish that, and more than half of 
your xml file is gone with no loss of information.

If you really care, goto single letter tag names, and even for single digit 
data (how real is that?) you have '<d>1</d>' vs '1,' or 8 to 2, not 50 to 1.
