Indeed, that is about files for reverse engineering (or regression tests
for already existing import libraries). Anyway, for both uses it is
important to have small files that only show one isolated feature.
Random files harvested from the Internet are of much less use here. A
corpus of many random files is useful too, e.g., for stress testing the
importer (can it import everything or does it fail/crash on some
files?), but that comes much later...

Anyway, we (the Document Liberation Project) do not have any plans to
write a separate .doc (or .docx) import library, for the following
reasons:
1. The formats are documented, so they are out of scope of the project.
2. There already exist several very good implementations in various open
   source projects, so there is no need for such a library.
3. We do not have the time to write it anyway :-)
