I'm not really sure what embedding odt documents within html5 actually means.  
In the DOM? embedded, like a picture? something else?

But if you want to see how you can view a file in the open document format 
(please! not libreoffice or openoffice format) then you can check out 
http://www.webodf.org/. WebODF is a package of JavaScript routines that 
unpacks the zip store and transforms the odf styles to css and then shows the 
document using the browser renderer. It's very efficient.

So far it's mostly for viewing, but editing featues are being added.
