if what you implement has the same semantics as what Gnumeric does (and
i think that's your goal) then it does make sense to use the same
foreign elements.

you'd need to add a namespace declaration for the "gnm" prefix; look at
the xmlns:gnm="..." attribute that must be somewhere in the file (likely
on the root element).  you can add namespaces in
xmloff/inc/xmloff/xmlnmspe.hxx and SchXMLExport::SchXMLExport() in
xmloff/source/chart/SchXMLExport.cxx.
