How to save ODF text file in XML representation?

I am making a paper in which I am comparing OOXML and ODF. One of the points is the syntax of the XML code. In Word 2003 there is an option to ‘save as XML file’, however I can not find any ODF program that enables that option. What ODF program can do that?

    Openoffice.org saves in (approximately) ODF 1.0. This is how I remember reading it somewhere–I could easily be wrong. The difference is lightly described here:

    I you save a document in Ooo Writer (the word equivalent) the extension is .odt. A simple way to see the underlying XML on a windoze box is to change the extension to .zip and browse the resultant compressed folder.

    I apologize if you were looking for a pure ODF document, this probably isn’t an answer.
