I am not very familiar with XML or Open Office but certainly appreciate the modules which have been made available to all of us.
In the Introduction I noticed a reference to the getXMLContent method:
Note: A document is always saved in the same file format as it's source. The save() can't act as a format converter. So, you can't save an OOo 1.0 file in OASIS OpenDocument format and vice versa, and you can't directly (without intermediate processing) save in OOo/OpenDocument compressed format a document loaded from XML data. However, thanks to the getXMLContent() method, you can write the flat XML to the standard output or a given file handle.
When I try to use that method to send the contents of an Open Office file to my browser, I receive a malformed header error message. The output begins:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
