Do you mean an ODT backend for Asciidoc?

Yes.


That would be good, but I don't know quite how hard it would be, I am
no expert on ODT but IIUC its more complex than docbook.

Well, of course we wouldn't be mapping everything ODT can do, but just the things that Asciidoc/Docbook does. Furthermore, the default style could resemble Asciidoc's default HTML but using proper style-names. Output can then be tweaked using LibreOffice/OpenOffice and saved as a template that can be applied using unoconv.


If you wanted to create the zipped format you would probably need a
postprocessor to zip it all up, but a2x could probably be adapted to
do that.

IIRC ODT can also work as a single XML file, but yes having a default zipped file would be welcome (but probably the easiest part :-) Having a single XML ODF file is most useful for debugging though.
