Ideally it would compete with LibreOffice.
However, if it can handle editing ODT files the same as LibreOffice,
but fails to display them as nicely, that would be a big step
along the way.
I suspect that displaying ODT files properly requires figuring out exactly
how they should render in LibreOffice.
