Yep I tried it a few days ago and the results were nearly perfect.

Well it becomes particular important if it comes to collaboration with
MS-Office people. I can write my stuff in org and make a LaTeX export
for the final submission, however, I can send co-authors ODT (and by
resaving doc) formats to allow them to make changes and comments to the
manuscript.

Well this is the exact point which is missing now. For now, I open the
resubmitted modified ODT version on my PC and make all changes
accordingly in my org-file. Thanks to a dual screen set-up it is rather
ok. However, still very error prone.
Having the possibility to re-import the ODT-file into org and make a
kind of diff which I simply step through and either agree or disagree
would be perfect. Emacs already has diff functionallity. What would be
needed is a way to re-import the ODT-file in a as much as possible exact
way like it was originally.
The ODF format is open and I wonder whether there is some kind of
metadata tag, which could be used to save the org-mode stuff directly
beside the odt text stuff... this would allow to restore the org-mode
file rather efficiently.
Pseudo code:
<metadata> *** DONE This is a subsubsub-header :COAUTHOR: <\metadata>
