I'd use Description first, and maybe later try alien attributes
http://xml.openoffice.org/faq.html#5 - though currently not sure
whether those really work in Impress. ;)

Well, the main extension points for ODF are alien attributes and RDF
- support for both is kinda there in LibO, but with a bunch of rough
edges. Conversely, it's relatively trivial to add new attributes in
the core code - so you might ponder hacking the core. It's actually
fun. :)

See above - you cannot easily extend the LibO core code. Otherwise,
for doing nice extensions, it's not a bad choice either.

If you're motivated to hack on that, sure - you'll learn a lot that
way, probably.
