Perhaps we should steal Mercurial idea of EncodeDecodeFilter, and store
OpenOffice documents, Mozilla extensions, Java packages in object store as
uncompressed archive, and checkout them to working area in original format.
All diff should be of course done on in-repository (after-filter) format.

The original example at 
  http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/index.cgi/EncodeDecodeFilter
talks about archives (zip files) and unix2dos endline convention conversion.

Perhaps for OpenOffice and Mozilla we would need to use [external] XML-aware
diff, too...
