I've installed OO.org as precompiled binary and unoconv. The UNO and
python bindings seem to be included in OO.org out of the box. And
python and java are probably installed anyway. (I mean, you even need
python to fetch Emacs source code.)

I don't know what you mean by insecure and antithetical. DocView uses
unoconv in a way that it simply starts a local, headless OO.org instance
that does the conversion and exits. And both tools are free software.
And that it can work remotely (as a kind of SaaS) is not a bad thing in
itself: As long as the service is provided by free software, I can setup
and study the service locally and don't lose my freedoms, right?
Bye,
