Yeah I would need to preserve those markers take the following:
1) I design a reports in OOCalc
2) I open the Document in my vi, notepad, ... and add my special tags
like e.g.

   <table:table-row table:style-name="ro1" ftm:list="persons as person">
    <table:table-cell office:value-type="string">
     <text:p>${person.givenname}</text:p>
    </table:table-cell>
    <table:table-cell office:value-type="string">
     <text:p>${person.surname}</text:p>
    </table:table-cell>
   </table:table-row>

In the template engine which is gets passed variable named persons (in
Java an Array of Person-Objects) now the template loops over this
foreach person and the resulting document (plain ODF-File) with say 3
additional rows holding the person information.

(Maybe I one day you this is done directly in OpenOffice with an
Extension or something else) => Hey OpenOffice get's a reporting engine
with one of the greatest visual report designer people ever saw ;-)

3) I want to change the design of the document e.g. adding a header and
footer. I want to open the file add change add the header and footer and
my information should have been preserved.

>From your mail i got the feeling that this is not possible at the moment
in OpenOffice. Wouldn't it be a simple to restore this non-odf values
e.g. as strings next to the object and insert them back when saving the
object (I know this is not so easy but you may get my point :-).
