Why port the Calligra libs to a new and different archive reading/writing API, if you can continue to use KArchive? KArchive is standalone already. Having a Calligra libs that depends on qt-only is not really an improvement over a Calligra libs that depends on Qt and KArchive. It is worse if you count the porting bugs and porting 'compromises'. Having an ODF library with a stable, binary compatible and rich API would indeed be interesting.
