Let me clarify this issue: if target format _provides_ support for given formatting (notwithstanding if target application is buggy or not to correctly accept it) - then why worry users at all? Warnings should be given _only_ in case if target _format_ is really _limited_ - for example, if you try to save document with different font sizes into plain text.
That's fine, it seems like a mighty task to go through and find all of the limitations. But, if you want it implements, file an issue.
If you do some of the leg work, it may get put in.
