You will end up with similar match pattern if you try to map Word
styles (saved in WordprocessingML) into some XML structure. Style name
is stored in a subelement which is two levels down from actual
paragraph element. And a lot of publishing companies is processing
Word input documents. You will have templates like:

<xsl:template match="p[pPr/pStyle/@val = 'Heading 1']">
<h1>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
<h1>
</xsl:template>
