Don't know. ;-)

Input  detection  is   done  by  OpenOffice  and  it   seems  to  ignore
extensions. Output format  must be provided by the  user and for Docbook
and OOXML, the  format is "docbook" and "ooxml"  (while the extension is
.xml for both).

To  avoid any  confusion, I  have removed  extensions. Here  is  the new
description:
