There is another side of the issue, at least for templates and
clip-art. This kind of stuff should be installed in such a way to be
automatically visible to all word processors. Especially now that
KOffice is converging on OpenDocument, why should I install an
OpenDocument template via OO.o and then (re) configure KOffice (or
AbiWord, etc...) to use it?

This can (and should) be handled only at the distro level, hence the
need to make easy the creation of native packages, and spread the
corresponding awareness and know how among contributors. No matter how
cool the OO.o add-on installer is.

Ciao,
        Marco
