ODF *is* XML. :-) Alternatively XHTML would be a good intermediate format. > The advantage I see is the division of labor.

In general that would be a nice idea, but it would be useful and worth the effort only if not only MediaWiki but also other Wiki projects could be convinced to get involved. An important question is if the transformations wiki<->XML/ODF are considered as "one way" steps or if a continuous roundtrip is expected. Roundtrip with any format, not even HTML, is not a "native feature" of the current wiki formats and it's possible that there would be some implementation effort in the wiki projects to make that work. So the wiki projects will ask themselves which incentive they have to use OOo as an editor for their wikis.
