The output format is 'xhtml_table'

\Format xhtml_table xhtml "XHTML Table (for spreadsheets)" "" "" "gnumeric" "document"
""
\converter gnumeric xhtml_table "perl $$s/scripts/wssconvert
--export-type=Gnumeric_html:xhtml $$i $$o" ""
\converter oocalc xhtml_table "perl $$s/scripts/wssconvert
--export-type=Gnumeric_html:xhtml $$i $$o" ""
\converter excel  xhtml_table "perl $$s/scripts/wssconvert
--export-type=Gnumeric_html:xhtml $$i $$o" ""
\converter excel2 xhtml_table "perl $$s/scripts/wssconvert
--export-type=Gnumeric_html:xhtml $$i $$o" ""

Also the change in lib/xtemplates/gnumeric.xtemplate is needed for 'Format DocBook'
-               Product "[Spreadsheet: $$FName]"
+               Product "$$Contents(\"$$AbsPath$$Basename.xhtml\")"
+               UpdateFormat xhtml_table
+               UpdateResult "$$AbsPath$$Basename.xhtml"
