Gavin, can you please clarify that you are able to
commit those under the terms of your ASF Contributor
License Agreement.
http://www.apache.org/licenses/#clas
If it is someone else's work then we need to be sure
that its license terms enable you to add it, and we need
to clearly note where it came from.
If it is your own original work, then no problem.

-1 there is no reason for them to go to SF now that we have your
clarification that this is your code.

Thanks for explaining. No i didn't know any of that.
Perhaps it should go into the documentation for that
plugin.
What frightened me was seeing this in the XSL stylesheet:

However, now i see that it is for default output
rather than part of the XSL itself.

No, not created by an external tool. You may know this already but for the
record,
When using writer (aka Word) in OpenOffice 2.4, the resultant .odt file
created is actually a zip containing a structure and .xml documents. These
xml files each have their own job of containing the data which makes up the
overall .odt file.
What I ended up finding I needed to do to create these files and zip them up
into an .odt file was use all possible combinations necessary of the
OpenDocument 1.1 specifications for each type of xml , settings, styles,
manifest, content, meta. I followed the original OpenOffice.org-output style
for producing the .odt as a zip file.
I will say this once more with certain clarity 'The stylesheet is written by
me, provided by me.' not automated by any xml tool (I know Oxygen can
produce something similar), not borrowed or anything else.

All code in the output plugin is mine. There are no copyright issues.
However, it is not receiving active development and should be removed in
preference for Gavins work which is active it would seem (we will need
to vote though in case someone is using it).
Gavin, please ensure there is nothing useful in my original plugin for
your new one.

I am concerned about that stylesheet. It seems that
it is generated by some sort of external tool.
Is that stylesheet provided by OpenOffice.org? If so,
then wouldn't it be under the LGPL license?
Ross, there is a similar situation with the old plugin
org.apache.forrest.plugin.OpenOffice.org-output
I wandered around svn history and it seems that there
have not been any real changes to this plugin. I presume
that means that no-one is using it.
Perhaps these plugins should be moved to SourceForge.

The .xsl is mine, the .odt is a good reference for testing and is not mine ,
I should not have committed that and will remove it,
