Why do you think it has to be a zero-sum game?. "rewritten in" implies abandoning the previous code. I, instead, think a Java-based (whether JavaFX or not, I'll leave it to the implementators), open source .ODF "document viewer" that can be launched via .jnlp (JWS ' Java Web Start) from a single click from a web browser. That is something that I'd love to see, and I guess the Lotus Symphony Java components could be integrated with something like this http://www.jopendocument.org/ to create such a lighteweight, Java-based ODF viewer (which could then feature an "edit" button that would launch the full Apache OO suite if the user decides he wants to edit the document, and if not available on the system, launch a web browser pointing towards the openoffice.org download page).
