An OOo document in deed is a zip file. And a processor implementing unzipping in a generic way surly wouldn't harm.
The reuslting structure could be <files><file name="thefirstname.ext" mime-type=text/xml">Content of the file plain if text</file><file name="paul.gif" mime-type="img/gif">Encoded content of the file</file></files>.

The processor config could be used to det option if plain content goes unencoded or not.
