Great, but this is not to-kspread migration, it's ods migration.
KSpread migration is a feature that pushed data into a living kspread
instance I have opened. Nothing like this is available for now I guess
at app-independent level.

Fine but not very useful. At least no more useful than e.g. exporting
narive Krita file to 1 bit colorspace and to an application and
calling it "jpeg filter".
Cyrille, in other words, using CSV or ODF as an intermediate format
for typed data is very like the krita example. CSV is typeless and
using KoFilter chains in important cases degrades accuracy of
converting.

Is this related to the topic?
