When I saw this, I thought the problem is intractable. How is OOo supposed to 
know which parts of the formatting to change and which to retain? For 
example, if italics are also used for foreign phrases in titles, and these  
are not to be left in italics, what to do? Or what about bold, which is 
common in headings, but not in the contents list? Or the font used? Or any of 
the other character attributes. It really looks as though the formatting of 
the TOC is the very last thing to be done before final publishing.
