good call on the zip. I was actually able to open it as a zip file without renaming the extension.
It contains several xml documents. It would be a very large undertaking to make a parser in coldfusion to read in or write out an openDocument, unless you just wanted to read it in and get a few specific items Still though, the specifications are pretty straightforward so if you were going to do it, it shouldnt be too awful hard, just a lot of work.. very interesting though.
