That's fine. And then I imagine the intention is not to get rid of the
ODF way, so we would need both, correct?

I'm happy to answer specific questions from you and others on the
mailing list as my time permits. In most cases others are more competent
to answer a given question, but usually somebody answers them. If you
don't get a reply in a few days, just "bump" the thread ("still looking
for an answer here!") so the thread gets the attention it needs. :-)
