Yup, we're aware of libgoffice. I'm hoping someone will submit a solid proposal for it, that will explain how using it would be better from other options we're considering.
Note that we won't be adopting any solution blindly.
Of course, nobody would expect you to blindly go with anything. ;)
Things to remember about the libgoffice framework:
o Already exists
It's already partially implemented, partially in-use and being actively developed. Think of it as a headstart. ;)
o A problem shared is a problem halved
I can almost guarrantee that Jody will be receptive to help and input. Given his hopes for libgoffice, he'll probably be eager to see it meet pretty much all of your requirements.
Whoever is investigating it should definitely get directly in touch with Jody in order to establish the scope for working together on libgoffice to make it meet Inkscape's requirements where it doesn't already do so.
