Document Liberation Project _is not_ LibreOffice :-) They are just siblings.

Is there at least a chance that the files can reasonably be imported as spreadsheets? I do not know statistical software in general, so I have no idea what sorts of data relations, special functions etc. could be saved in the files. These would likely be "lost in translation". Anyway, since there already is a project that can import the file format, it would seem preferable to try to convince them to release the import code as a separate library. (It would still be possible to write a librevenge-based wrapper around that library, if there were anyone interested to do it. And it would be much simpler than writing a whole parser from scratch.)
