Simple reason: to reuse the code already exists for OpenOffice.org.

Of course we already have discussion on the next step, i.e. direct wpd
to odt code, possibly good for KOffice 2.0. But since nobody can
commit to work on this in the next coming months, IMHO it is better to
have that sxw filter for the time being, rather than a primitive kwd
and/or an unfinished odt.
