Your use case is very practical and very desirable.
And yes, producing a single-file ODF document (XML format) would work
great for similar applications, including creation of feature-test
documents, etc.
There are major practical reasons why the single-file XML format
is not the default format. It is odd that it is not a supported
format, however, especially for input.
I believe there were, at some point, separate transform scripts that
could be added to OpenOffice.org to accomplish input and output of
the single-file format. I don't know where those are and if they
still work.
It is an useful thing to research. I will dig into my files, but
I am not hopeful.
Keep asking around.

I am writing an AsciiDoc backend to produce ODF files directly from
AsciiDoc. I was also looking for a flat file importer. Currently
LibreOffice and OpenOffice want to open such a .fodt (or .xml) file as
text rather than an pure ODF file.
Flat ODF file support would be useful to anyone producing/converting
simple ODF files, and can help with learning/debugging ODF. It could be
very useful to the larger ODF development community.
Kind regards,
