Right, I'm not getting into the game where I'm going to try and support all of the formatting combinations that Word users can come up with. But I do intend to support styles in all of their incarnations: paragraph, character, and otherwise. To make this possible, what I'll probably do is use the book/article classes as a basis for the import and then generate placeholder entries for other styles in the LyX local layout. That will prevent errors and problems and allow for you to convert to the document class of your choice without problems. Once there, you remove the placeholder entries, or define them further.
