why do some people always want what is not available :-) ?

This is *much* more difficult (and in my opinion will hardly work
ever) as TeX is explicitely a programming language too, that allows
the definition of own macros, programs ... that could not be
translated back to some xml used by OOo.

Remember the sentences by D Knuth (the author of TeX) in his book
where he says that TeX could be used to program a chess program ...
but that this would probably not be the most clever idea.

Thanks,

Nicolas
