HI :)
+1
It might be nice to have an Extension that allows people to import LaTeX or have a program that can 
export a LaTeX document to Odf but it's not something that many people would use.  I doubt it would 
even be usefully possible.  A lot of the advantage of the format would be lost when converting it.  

A far better example than my stupid earlier one of spell checkers.  Many of us have probably never 
even heard of LaTeX but are somewhat reliant on decent spell checkers (ie NOT the MS ones).  
Regards from
Tom :)
