What Nicolas meant is obviously: not right now, but one could, in theory,
reuse code from the openoffice filters, if he wanted to (the primary questions
being about modularity, readability, etc. Working code isn't enough to make
a re-use worth it.)

Note that this is a voluntary project, so nothing won't happen unless someone
volunteers for the task. Feel free to give a hand :)
