Hi! I think the energy should be spent on making the OpenDocument text import handle character styles (and functioning paragraph styles).
When receiving texts there should be a step BEFORE Scribus where a text doc is prepared for importing into Scribus, ie all formatting converted into proper chara and para styles.
