By the way, while a solution for Pandoc is being worked out, you may want 
to try this work-around:


   1. Save reference document (it needs to be output from Pandoc if you're 
   modifying Pandoc's own styles) as template.
   2. Apply this template (choosing to automatically apply styles) to the 
   one produced by Pandoc.

Unfortunately this does require that you have Word installed and invoked 
for each (pan)doc requiring customization. I'm not sure whether applying 
template can be automated.
