Yes, the archive only cares if it's 999 words or less.

Regading "special characters" in Yuletide story titles or content - like Danish ø (U+00F8) or å (U+00E5)
I'm using Open office to compose the HTML. Is there anything special I can/should do in the HTML header to preserve these characters? If not I'll eliminate them rather than see them transformed into gobbledygook.

While AO3 has had a few issues with the importing of stories from other URLs and special characters, and with special characters in tags, it looks like it's able to deal with special characters just pasted in the text of the story. I don't think you need to do anything special, as stories can be uploaded either using rich text or simple html (available codes can be found on the archive, or in the recent proxy post in this LJ.)
I hope this answers your question.

and .. I am definitely undercaffienated at the moment, but I am not seeing anything about "special characters" per se in that particular entry ... are the title fields HTML? and thus going to be able to parse, for example, vågen? or does it need to be pasted in as (mentally remove spaces) v & a r i n g ; g e n ?

Since support for things like uploading and such will be moving to the AO3 support system, and I haven't actually uploaded to it myself, yet, I can't say for sure, but people I trust have said they've been able to just copy and paste accent marks, etc.
I will look into this further, though, and we'll be making this kind of thing clearer when we have actual upload availability and information!
