For me, I'd suggest two example scripts:

"export to PowerPoint"	
Takes an OO file and creates an html file that PowerPoint can understand 
(preferably with notes mapped to speaker notes, though I'm not sure if 
this is possible).  Top level of an outline would map to an html 
heading, for example, which maps to PP slide titles.  Isn't PP 
scriptable?  If yes, the script could work like the one in Word, which 
transfers the file to PP and opens it as a new presentation.

"export structured text"	
For creating structured docs that could be imported into word 
processors, for example.  Html would be fine, because those of us who 
are Applescript-challenged could probably figure out how to modify it 
for other uses (like LaTeX).  Also, an app like Word can import html.

Creates a file that looks like (hmm..I don't really know html, but I 
hope you get the idea):

OO level ----->  <heading>
"note"      ----->  <body text>
etc., etc.
