QDom and QXml, strongly recommended.

Because you need to reimplement bool hasToWriteMultipart();  to say TRUE.

Use the koStore interface (creating a KTarStore), with tar:0 tar:1 as internal filenames
They will become part0.xml and part1.xml in the tar file, see docu :
  // tar:/0 is saved as part0.xml
  // tar:/0/1 is saved as part0/part1.xml
  // tar:/0/1/pictures/picture0.png is saved as part0/part1/pictures/picture0.png
(this conversion exists for compatibility reasons)

The protected methods of KOfficeDoc :
 virtual bool saveChildren( KoStore* store, const char *path );  
 virtual bool loadChildren( KoStore* ); 
Generally, the docu says which methods to overload.

Feel free to ask if anything is unclear.
