That'd be extremely useful to me Ross. I'm running a small (sub) site which uses MS Word docs as source. At present - having not worked out the command line Office conversions, and with Ooo's diminishing support for the old swx format, I'm stuck with manually converting the docs into swx. Would a way around the license issues be to present it as a 'cookbook' - not include the proprietory code?
