Erm, actually, no <blush>. I heard it's less than perfect especially 
when your workflow involves several roundtrips between LibO and that 
other office suite, but my job currently doesn't require such 
roundtrips, so I'm spared from that experience.

I'm personally more interested in XHTML and Wiki export, and whether or 
not somebody picks up that idea for GSOC I'd like to contribute to that.

Is there any place stating explicitly the capabilities of the current 
OOXML/MOX filters, by the way? All I found with this regard is a study 
by the German government  
http://www.cio.bund.de/SharedDocs/Publikationen/DE/Standards_und_Architekturen/ergebnisdokument_konvertertest_v11_download.pdf?__blob=publicationFile, 
but even that is quite vague.
