The one thing I miss is a filter collection which does not depend on KOffice or OpenOffice. It's a large duplication of code and a waste of developer resources that every application which uses the OASIS format has to develop it's own filters.

Imagine KOffice, OpenOffice and maybe later also Abiword/Gnumeric would use the same filters. As a result there would be much better filters for all.
