You are right.  Also, oolatex inserts citations as plain text as well.  As
I recall, it can be done "semantically" and section 6.3 of the odt
standard suggest that this may be true, but it's not immediately obvious
how to do it.

I don't think <text:p> can be nested cf.

It has to be formatted as a bibliography.

I've attached a minimal oolatex example (mk4ht oolatex test.tex) of

    \documentclass{article}
    \usepackage[english]{babel}
    \usepackage[authordate]{biblatex-chicago}
    \addbibresource{~/documents/literature/lit.bib}
    \begin{document}
    before \textcite[pre][post]{schulte12} and after
    \printbibliography
    \end{document}

Hope it helps,
Rasmus
