I finally got around to trying this.  Here are my thoughts:

1.  Damn this is good !

2.  Yay !!

3.  Oh C-c C-e O  opens the ODT file in both Emacs and LibreOffice.  I wouldn't
     have expected that.  Would have thought it would open in LibreOffice only.
     C-c C-e D exports to PDF and opens a PDF viewer.  It does not open up the
     PDF file in Emacs (either as a plain buffer or a DocViewer buffer).

4.  Its nice to be able to open the ODT file in archive mode.  Not
sure how I'd use it
     but its a good feature.

5. There were other issues but that had to do with LibreOffice rather
then org-mode :)


cheers,
