A KWord importer would be great. And due to the quality generic XML
importer created by Dom, it shouldn't be that har to write. The
difficult part is getting to the date in the tar file. You can look a
KOffice's routines for using tar files, and the zabw import/export
routines for dealing with the compression.
The dtd, along with an W3C XML Schema, is available in links from the
Developer FAQ, and at http://www.abisource.com/awml.dtd
