Oh, this is actually excellent news!  I use maxima all the time...

Yes, I found this.  I had to wrap the <math> block within the following
ODT to get anything to display:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
<text:p text:style-name="Text_20_body">
<draw:frame draw:style-name="OrgCaptionedFormula" text:anchor-type="paragraph" draw:name="Frame1">
<draw:object>

MathML goes here

</draw:object>
</draw:frame>
</text:p>
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

although the styling is weird currently.  I've not yet played with the
style name etc. but I needed all three aspects: paragraph, frame, and
object to get the equation to appear.

Yes, the exporter seems to wrap the MML with the types of lines I've
shown above.

I will play with maxima (tomorrow, I think).

Thank you,
