I've looked into supporting KWord. From one perspective, it isn't all that
bad. The XML file format isn't that bad. The bad part is that the .kwd file
is really a tgz archive of 2 files, last I checked. One doc has the actual
content and the other file has metadata.
A KWD file importer would definitely be cool.
