Well... sort of.

Keep in mind that OpenOffice started started out cloning a different  
software product that used VML for it's drawing. Full OpenDraw is not  
really "weird svg", although they did try to adopt similar naming for  
certain things. SVG to OpenDraw is also much easier than arbitrary  
OpenDraw to SVG.
