I have this notion I saw a generic exporter that someone wrote for odt, in which you feed the exporter a template document which ocntains all the relevant style definitions.  but I can't find it anymore, and as I recall it didn't really seem to work very well anyway. 

ah, it was a muse-mode exporter:

would that be a good beginning for a native odt exporter in org, or would it be better to start from scratch with the  org-export-generic.el?  or maybe both on reflection...
