Hello Andreas,
Firstly, thank-you for your answer which enlight my day ;-). In order to
try to help the following developpers trying to figure out how all this
work, I will try to "over-explain" the facts.

Interesting...

This was almost working. Only small modifications had to be done.

Yes, it almost work, except that, the application the filter is intended
for is not recognized in OOo2.0. For example, if my filter is designed
for calc, I am not able to tell the "XML Filter Dialog" that this is the
case.
I suppose that this is partly due to the new file format in OOo2.0 (odt,
ods...). In OOo1.1, the name of a component is used to tell which
application (writer, calc...) the filter is related, for example :
writer (.sxw) : com.sun.star.text.TextDocument
calc (.sxc) : com.sun.star.sheet.SpreadsheetDocument
As in the example below :
<node oor:name="Filters">
<node oor:name="my_filter">
<prop oor:name="UIName" oor:type="xs:string">
<value xml:lang="en-US">My filter (Calc)</value>
</prop>
<prop oor:name="Data" oor:type="xs:string">
<value>
0,
SimpleXML,
com.sun.star.sheet.SpreadsheetDocument,
com.sun.star.comp.Writer.XmlFilterAdaptor,
524289
...
</prop>
</node>
</node>
But by now, there are two types of file per application :
writer : .sxw and .odt
calc : .sxc and .ods
And I suppose that the "XML Filter Dialog" is confused and when
specifying a "com.sun.star.sheet.SpreadsheetDocument" does not know
which one to choose : is the resulting file produced by the XSLT filter
an file formated in .sxw or in ods ?
So, is there a new kind of component like :
"com.sun.star.sheet.ODSSpreadsheetDocument" or
"com.sun.star.sheet.SXWSpreadsheetDocument" ?
Is there a solution ? Should I wait some more time before trying to make
it work in order to let time for the doc to become available ?

Ok !

Waiting for those explanation :-)
