Indeed a nice feature if you rely on document managing. So where is 
the feature request issue for this? We from the Mac port cannot 
implement features before we even have an as native as possible 
first OOo on top of which we can continue in our aquafying efforts 
and feature implementation so that it uses OS X features, 
integrates into OS X and works together with other wide spread mac 
(linux and windows also) applications.

Again. File an feature request issue or search for developers 
yourself. There is an .mac SDK from Apple. Sadly I'm a non-coder so 
I cannot help you here but saving to the iDisk or any other webdav 
folder should already be possible. I don't know if it still excists 
but I rember an error with this where OOo couldn't save to an https 
secured webdav folder. 

NeoOffice claims .mac integration but I haven't tested their 2.2.1 
yet. It's installed but a first start was awfully slow and the app 
itsself not very responsible. To be honest and fair the workload on 
the mac was heavy, so mabye with just Camino and Mail open I will 
have better results.
