NXOOoPlugin should be able to reuse authentication headers or cookies (mainly
JSESSIONID for now) when using the "Edit online" link as it's done in MS Office
plugin or the Zope External Editor.

If the session as expired, an authentication popup is a good fallback.

A new idea: use validated template files (ott, otp, ...) to create new document
easily using from a remote special folder on the repository dedicated to
corporate templates management => users a garanteed to use the lateste template
files from their company.

The NXTransformPlugin is already able to use a headless OpenOffice instance on
the server side to convert documents to PDF (and maybe other formats should
somebody write the appropriate plugin).
