I put up a simple test page here:

Good news and bad news:

* Upstream mwlib is really chugging along.  That's healthy.

* Current mwlib is now at 0.11.2, which is way ahead of our anemic
  0.9.10.  It now requires odfpy==0.9.

* odfpy-0.9 shouldn't be too hard to do, right?  I think mwlib is the
  only thing using it.

* Oh wait, did I mention there's more?  mwlib-0.11.2 also needs
  python-lockfile>=0.8 and python-timelib>=0.2, neither of which we
  have yet, meaning more packaging.
