the problem with this is that there are already a lot of documents out in
the real world with the currect "Normal" definition. I didn't want to
screw them up.
As Tom Newton has remarked we should really export all used styles in our
document including built-in styles. I removed this because it was screwing
up some assumptions we made internally about styles. We should really fix
these assumptions to allow us to export and import all used styles,
including built-in styles.
