Interesting, didn't know about this! 

I was just going to propose something similiar: ODF documents with
embedded PDF files for read-only and exact output purposes.

So I do not need to have two versions of the document on my harddrive

But I assume it is not possible to open that file with other ODF
compatible programs, or is it possible to extract the odf document
somehow?

But most of this should already be part of the ODF document?
