Looking for a clear description of Excel’s .xlsx XML format

Microsoft Excel’s “.xlsx” files are zip files that each contain a set of files.

Could someone please provide a link that concisely describes the full structure/syntax/markup/format of the embedded .xml files (the headers are less interesting)?

For example, it’s hard to find online explanations on what the c, t, and s elements represent.
