I don't think so but it is also not the aim here, currently one of the
goal of the project is to bridge OOo to the web, manipulating .odf files
but also .html files.

This is not the same support, in that case, it's about supporting OOo as
a wysiwyg editor for web services, odf being the native file format of OOo.
