IMHO it would be better to use an ID transform output filter to generate ODF then transform that flat ODF "data file" using whatever parameters and processor you like. Although I've not thought it through completely, it seems to me that the introduction of generalized parameters just before export could break ODF, or, more to the point, be used to "demonstrate" that the OO ODF implementation is broken. Not that certain companies in Redmond, WA would ever consider doing that to Sun's Java (too late they already did!), er, I mean Sun's OpenOffice. ;-)
