So what you're proposing is to extend the functionality described in 
https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/issues/2542 to: - not only cover DOCX, but 
also ODT and ICML
- and not only Inlines but also Blocks (i.e. not only "character styles" 
but also "paragraph styles")

You're welcome to add your comments to that issue!

You suggest using a Span for Inlines, so using a Div for Blocks would be 
consequent. Also, as you mentioned  Para currently unfortunately doesn't 
support attributes in Pandoc's AST anyway.

Btw, you can also always write your own filter (see 
http://pandoc.org/scripting.html) to modify Pandoc's AST and insert for 
example Raw ICML, like: [RawBlock (Format "icml") "<ParagraphStyleRange ... 
</ParagraphStyleRange>"]
