Pedro,

I copied this back to the subsurface mailing list because I remember we have a couple people on there who are really good with wrestling scripts to create XML output - maybe one of them has an idea for the ODF->XML conversion.

As to not being able to edit the notes - I ran into this once and when I tried to debug it things worked again. Have you tried saving the file and then reloading it as XML file? Nothing in the code seems to explain why that would happen, but it might be worth a try.
