There is a new document structure that can make things like this easier
than before, but an exhaustive import/export design doesn't exist yet.

Not sure. MsWordView reads binary m$ word's doc which support things that
probably raw RTF doesn't. The best path (Word -> LyX) is the shorter.
Anyway a perfect importer is not possible because m$ word is wysiwyg and
LyX is not.
