That is, we shouldn't "steal" file associations. If, OTOH, someone is installing AOO on a box without MS Office, then it makes perfect sense to make AOO the default program for .doc, .ppt, etc. Likewise, most people probably don't have a "native" ODF program on their systems, and installing AOO as the default for ODF would probably make sense in most cases.
