Please tell me this macro is just uses a dictionary attack and assumes
the document was encrypted with a a password susceptible to such
attacks. I'd hate to think that OOo uses some brain-dead encryption
algorithm that can be mathematically reversed.

If you're really* concerned about securing a document, encrypt it using
a program that specializes in just that, like pgp or GNUpg, and don't
create a private key for decrypting the files with a weak passphrase.
