I just said the opposite...
There is no support for a full msaccess-like (/ kexi-like) database in the
"oasis open office" spec. But if someone wants to propose it to the OASIS
committee, he should ensure that the proposal integrates with the current OASIS
spec, including the basic types and the DB access stuff that oowriter has for 
filling forms in text-processing documents. That's what I called "to build upon it".
