Thanks for the feedback, this sounds better.

I can't exactly tell if it's SVG or LibreOffice metadata, but I created
a simple test.odt with only a TexMaths equation inside. After unzipping
this .odt, I can see the original LaTeX in content.xml in a <svg:desc>
node. I tried copying and pasting the image from LibreOffice to
Inkscape, but I couldn't find the original LaTeX in the resultant SVG.
