Hi, I think that this is an interesting and valid point. In the same way that users can get a preview of OOo-supported attached files right now, we could integrate use OOo's upcoming HTML5 version in XWiki (when it's ready). From this article: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/10/17/libreoffice_porting_ios_android_cloud/:
*The LibreOffice Online cloud software is built around HTML5 Canvas and the GTK+ framework with JavaScript shims, and was developed by SUSE's Michael Meeks and RedHat's Alex Laarson. It allows complex text layout, large spreadsheets, WYSIWYG editing, VBA macros, and pivot tables, with the server side taking almost the entire processor load.* So that would seem to answer your initial issue :-) You could upload a .odt file, edit it online from the wiki, save it and it would be viewable from the wiki or re-downloadable at will.
