heh =)

well, i think the broader use case amongst applications is:

"my application displays data in a widget already appropriate for the usage. 
right now i store it in a format particular to my application, meaning that 
only my application can open it. i'd like to replace my own data format with 
something interoperable, like ODF, but it's too complex."

an obvious example is kjots. it has no need for a gui component to display the 
rich text, and it does display documents in a slightly different way from 
other applications.

it would be great if it could drop it's own xml-ish file format though.

there are numerous such examples where being able to load/store data in ODF 
format would be nice and useful, and there is no reason to expect that the 
data is even displayed on screen.

afaik (and please, correct me if i'm wrong), flake is both display and data. 
and really we need primarily data storage and retrieval.
