Looks fine. I went ahead and moved the #defines from the .h to the .cpp,
because they aren't used outside of it. (Plus which, this matches what's
happening in the other importers.)

Styles are flattened down to two levels -- character ("C") and paragraph
("P"), so at any point in time you could theoretically have one C style
nested inside one P style. No other form of nesting is valid. For an
example, see:
abi/test/wp/Styles.abw
For now, it looks like you should be safe. See the implementation of
pt_PieceTable::_loadBuiltinStyles() in the following file:
abi/src/text/ptbl/xp/pt_PT_Styles.cpp
The original builtin set are all paragraph-level ("P") styles, so they'll
never nest.

PS: Later on, it might be interesting to play around with exporting other
style information using the usual HTML/CSS mechanisms. However, we've never
messed with CSS selectors, so it might take some extra work to get the
mapping right.
