I also tried odf-mode with little joy. I think it could probably be improved. And, I think this would be useful to do -- working with some reasonable subset of ODF would be useful, if not perfect. I think some other ODF editors also only handle subsets. One problem is that ODF is very large and has a lot of things that are difficult or impossible to display in Emacs. Tom
