--- Comment #2 from Luke Kendall <[email protected]> ---
I just had a look at the feasibility of the workaround.

Unfortunately, without a dictionary of the thousands of (unnecessary) styles
generated by LO, it's really very difficult to know what style any piece of
text is by looking at the XML. As mentioned in other reports, the XML saved by
LO exposes the history of edit changes: at each point where text was changed,
it's broken into a separate <span>, so you end up with stuff that looks like
this:

 In fact, he looked </text:span><text:span
text:style-name="T604">guilty!</text:span></text:p><text:p
text:style-name="P949">&apos;<text:span text:style-name="T447">When</text:span>
did they decide?&apos;</text:p><text:p text:style-name="P514"><text:span
text:style-name="T811">&apos;</text:span><text:span
text:style-name="T822">Several months ago</text:span><text:span
text:style-name="T811">.&apos;</text:span></text:p><text:p
text:style-name="P987"><text:span text:style-name="T311">Several months
ago.</text:span><text:span text:style-name="T875">  S</text:span><text:span
text:style-name="T425">he just stared at him.  &apos;</text:span><text:span
text:style-name="T46">When were you going to tell
me?&apos;</text:span></text:p><text:p text:style-name="P220">&apos;Don&apos;t
take that tone of voice with me, young lady!&apos;</text:p><text:p
text:style-name="P988"><text:span text:style-name="T47">He was really angry,
she saw, though most people wouldn&apos;t </text:span><text:span
text:style-name="T50">ha</text:span><text:span text:style-name="T47">ve seen
the signs.  B</text:span><text:span text:style-name="T311">ut </text:sp

Since this is also caused by
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=62603, it's unfortunate
that no mechanism exists to correct the consequences of that bug.

Oh, well.

Back to a manual scan of my 400-page book looking for italic errors introduced
by LO.
