XLSX files are in XML format - usually packaged in a PKZIP archive format.

Do they want the raw XML? Not compressed? Or, as another post asked, do
they want the XLSX?

It would be very unusual for anyone to ask for XML if what they really
want is .xlsx. Yes, .xlsx consists of XML, but it's in a lot of
pieces, and not much at all like the Excel 2003 XML format.

Even if they wanted .xlsx after all, they wouldn't specifically
stipulate to "leave the raw XML uncompressed". They would just ask
for .xlsx, exactly as if Excel had produced it.
