What you are suggesting is a more sophisticated importer, if I 
understand correctly. Please feel free to file a bug report with a 
detailed description of what you need. More advanced features will 
probably be possible with the new file format.

I absolutely agree with you, but from my experience it makes much sense 
to do this either in OO.o *before* importing or in scribus *after* 
importing. OO.o's use of templates and styles is excellent, so you 
should think about doing the major text work in OO.o and the layout in 
Scribus.

Cheers,
