Caolan, do you have any best practices recommendations for the naming
of the openoffice.org extensions?  It would be nice to add them to the
guidelines (then perhaps submit them to the packaging committee) e.g.,
I'd like to package ooolatex:

http://ooolatex.sourceforge.net/

and so should the package should (following the emacs-, python-,
perl-, R- convention) be called "openoffice.org-latex"?  or should be
called "openoffice.org-ooolatex", or just "ooolatex"?

Also, will this particular extension, which is packaged as an .oxt
file, be able to be installed using the unopkg tool as suggested on
that page?  i.e. are .oxt files intended to be installed using the
unopkg tool?

Any suggestions welcomed.
