You can easily get your own XML from ODS files, but you may want to customize
if by using XSLT. There are examples of using XSLT in
OpenOffice.org/share//xslt/export/spreadsheetml/. They may be a bit advanced
for you, but they do indeed allow very flexible exportation (and importation)
of XML data.
