Well not entirely since a wps2doc filter would allow a doc version of a
wps file to be imported to OOo and therefore to ODF. I think its about
priorities again. Concentrating on filters for the most common
proprietary formats and making them as accurate as possible is a
sensible strategy since its likely that their will already be a way of
getting the less popular formats to ODF via these formats. Spreading the
resource to many formats and doing them not so well is a lot less
efficient. We would end up with a lot of stuff that is not quite good
enough for many people.
