I just wrote a Python script that allows storing OOo-files in CVS. Now that it
is working I realized that the only reason why such a script is needed is the
deficiency of OpenOffice.org to store its files in a directory.

Working on directories rather than (zip-)archives has the advantage that the
files lie in the filesystem in plain xml and can easily be managed by versioning
systems which a binary zip file does not allow. Together with the "pretty print"
option, this would be enough to work on OOo files concurrently over CVS.

MIB, interesting idea like we have had before with "flatXML". Are there any plans?
