The org info file includes the words "OpenDocument Text (ODT) export
allows seamless collaboration across organizational boundaries." The
export to odt is great and goes part of the way, but for true seamless
collaboration you really need to be able to go both ways.

Does anyone have a way of converting odt->org and back again? I suppose
there would be some difficulties; but if the source document is well
structured - using styles rather than direct formatting - then one could
keep meta information about the applicable styles in properties in the
org file so that there's some hope of a reasonable round trip.
