I once wrote such an import filter.  It is pretty simple, but due to
the lot of elements still quite a bit of work.  I don't think that
the way Texinfo --> OOo is important enough to justify a high
priority.  Moreover, it is very difficult to implement the other
way, and it would be inconvenient to use, so using OOo as an
authoring tool for Texinfo documentation is unrealistic.  If you
want to share your Texinfo documents with others, use PDF, since it
cannot be edited anyway.

Last but not least, OOo should be able to import Docbook and HTML,
and Texinfo is able to export that.  If there is sill a problem with
the Docbook filter, well, then you have to wait for a better one I'm
afraid.

Tschoe,
Torsten.
