+1 I love the idea!!! :D
People who work with XML based filters, focus their work on ODF.
Having the expectation of a framework focus on their needs, on the work
on ODF, makes me want to jump into the future!! ;-)
Thanks for the late x-mas present!!

Project Proposal : ODF Toolkit
Scope Summary
The scope of the "ODF Toolkit" OpenOffice.org project is:
1. To improve the ability to use OpenOffice.org as a programming
framework for creating and processing ODF documents rather than to use
it as a desktop application. This will be achieved by transforming an
appropriate subset from the OpenOffice.org source code basis, and by
adapting it to the new purpose.
2. To provide a home for components that can be used for processing ODF
documents and that are either based on the new ODF Toolkit, or
complement it.
Both together will constitute the ODF Toolkit, which is a toolkit for
office document creation and processing based on ODF.
This toolkit will share its source code with the OpenOffice.org desktop
application where ever this is reasonable.
That is, based on the OpenOffice.org source code, there will be the
OpenOffice.org suite, and an ODF Toolkit, which is tailored to
processing office documents outside traditional office desktop
applications.
Developers interested in moving beyond office suite functionality to
areas that express files as ODF, however "beyond" is imagined, are
invited to join. We envision this project as giving all a hint of the
potential of OpenOffice.org source and ODF.
