I do like the idea of making a filter which supports hot words, metadata

You could definitely output the metadata and hot words as part of a
text stream, so Fridrich's approach would work here too. See the
'wpd2raw' utility in libwpd (which we use in our regression testing
framework) for an example.
I just added to the wpd2text an "--info" switch. "wpd2text --info
<infile> outputs the document's metadata (one entry per line in
label-space-content format) instead of the document itself. Without the
switch the wpd2text behaves as before.
I know that Nat Friedman was demonstrating the classification of
relevance in odt documents using the "hot words" and it can make many
people enthusiatic. Nevertheless (and the explanation would be lengthy,
so will give only on request), I highly doubt that a word's text
attribute in a WP document is the best indicator of its relevance. At
this stage of conversion at least. IMHO, wpd2text should do text ;-) and
only text. But, this is my own view and I do not have problem to be
convinced about the contrary by sound arguments :-)
On other note, whenever I have a time, I am trying to work on
headers/footers in WP3 and WP5 documents. For the while, enabling them
is making my WP{3,5}ContentListener crash on the first headers in
"subDocument->parse(this)" in _handleSubDocument... A problem with
virtual calls probably, but will investigate more.
After that, I would like to handle in a bit correct way tabulators in
these parsers and eventually release 0.8.5, but this is not yet part of
the immediate future.
Cheers
Fridrich
