--- Comment #2 from V Stuart Foote <[email protected]> ---
Hancom Office file formats are proprietary. But do have high market share for
Hangul tabular word processing in South Korea, as well as for other office
suite documents.

Their legacy .HWP binary formats are probably out of the question for further
LibreOffice import filter work. Continued issues with the legacy OOo hwpfilter
(pre 1997 HPW formats) of bug 105405, and open request of bug 128907 and bug
144747. While the pyhwp suggested in bug 90513 looks to have stalled at HWP 5.

But seems current XML based suite formats, notably the .HWPX would be a more
reasonable import filter project. And Hancom appears to have moved the suite
formats to XML to improve their ability to interoperate with MS Office
products, deemphasizing the binary .HWP (think MS Office binary file formats vs
MS Office OOXML formats). 

A parsing lib under a 'Document Liberation' project might be the best approach,
especially if Hancom wanted to support it, but perhaps something directly for a
LibreOffice Writer import filter to use would be well received.
