Hi ! So first thank you for all your research about the way to display Office documents :)
So yes, nothing is decided yet, but we tough about Calligra because they are working on a QML version as you very well have noticed. We must review some things about Calligra before implement it, but I think it is well on track for it. I would be happy to see your UX :) And if you want to help us building the Docviewer Application you will be welcome !
