It looks interesting, GPL'ed m-file code. Relies on xmlread() which is 
in octave-forge
toolbox I think.

Also the problem with ODF I suspect its huge to cover all bases, and any 
implementation
is going to be a broken subset. Writing a huge matrix in ascii and 
putting that into a large
XML file and zipping it up is not my idea of a nice matrix format.

Best method was suggested earlier; csv read/write. Octave loads CSV's 
nicely.
