As the SD tags were used to adapt business data, I believe XForms would 
be our standard way in doing it. It would be the standardized way to 
have a data binding to business data (xml data file) in the package and 
changing the XML data via fields.
The custom XML parts could be XForms instances, but they as any kind of 
data can be simply added to ODF when the file is listed in the manifest.
The custom XML markup could be mapped via xml:id with RDF/XML.
