I'll see if I can find out. One thing that I do know is that when one
opens up OpenOffice writer documents with other applications (in order
to get at the XML contained within), you are supposed to open it up with
archiving software. In other words, *.sxw files are basically an
xml-text file, wrapped in a zip file. So some kind of content type for
archive *may* work, but I'm not sure. I'll try to check this out on one
of the OpenOffice forums.
