If we always import document properties from normal.awt (both for new 
and existing docs) than we do not need to have this preference. To me 
this is by far a better solution, because the change of that 
preference currently requires AW restart. However, I was under the 
impression that there were some objections to loading the props from 
normal.awt from other folk on the list.

The importStyles() mechanism only imports styles, not the doc props. 
For the AW importer alone we will need to implement extra mechanism 
for import both of doc props and styles (should be done together to 
avoid parsing the template twice). This is trivial, and I will do it 
later today.
